Turnip microgreens are exceptionally easy to grow, making them an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. They require minimal care, mainly consistent moisture and adequate light, making them fuss-free and forgiving. They should be seeded at the recommended density to maximise crop yields and prevent overcrowding, and grown in an area with the correct environmental conditions. Turnip microgreens sprout and mature rapidly, usually ready for harvest in just 7-14 days and you can enjoy multiple harvests from a single planting. Incorporating turnip microgreens into your business aligns with sustainability and local food initiatives while meeting the growing demand for fresh, responsibly sourced produce. Turnip microgreens are a sustainable crop with a small carbon footprint. They require minimal resources, such as water and space, to thrive. By cultivating and selling turnip microgreens locally, you contribute to the growing demand for fresh, locally sourced produce, reducing the need for long-distance transportation and associated emissions. The market for fresh, locally grown microgreens is on the rise as consumers seek healthier and more sustainable food options, and microgreens often command premium prices in the market due to their nutritional density and culinary appeal. Turnip microgreens are rich in essential nutrients. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and calcium. These greens also contain antioxidants and provide dietary fibre. Turnip microgreens have a mild, peppery flavour similar to mature turnip greens but milder. They offer a pleasant, slightly spicy kick that can enhance the taste of salads, sandwiches, and various dishes.
