Germination takes around 3-7 days and you can harvest in about 7-14 days.

Homegrown microgreens also save money and minimise food miles. Coriander microgreens have a short growth cycle, typically ready for harvest in about 10-14 days. This rapid growth allows for continuous production and quick turnover.

Coriander microgreens (cilantro) are nutrient-dense, containing vitamins like A, C, and K for immune function and skin health.
