Growing Chinese kale (also known as Chinese broccoli or Gai Lan) microgreens is moderately easy. Sow seeds at the recommended density on a well-draining medium and mist regularly. Place in a well-lit, temperature controlled spot. Germination takes around 3-5 days. Harvest in about 7-14 days. Homegrown microgreens save money compared to buying pre-packaged greens. They can be grown for personal use or sold to health-conscious consumers and local markets, and selling locally-grown microgreens supports the local economy and reduces food miles. Chinese kale microgreens can be sold at a premium price due to their unique flavour, nutritional benefits, and cultural relevance. Microgreens, including Chinese kale microgreens, can be grown in a relatively small space, making them suitable for urban farming, hydroponics, or indoor cultivation. This versatility in location allows for scalability. Chinese kale microgreens are relatively low-maintenance, suitable for beginners. Chinese kale microgreens are nutrient-rich, offering vitamins A, C, and K for immunity and skin health. They provide minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium for bone and bodily functions. Antioxidants, including beta-carotene and lutein, enhance potential health benefits, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Chinese kale microgreens have a mild and slightly peppery flavour with a hint of sweetness and their taste is delicate yet distinct.
