Growing rocket (also known as arugula) microgreens is relatively easy. To grow rocket microgreens, spread seeds at the recommended density on a moist growing medium, and keep in a climate-controlled area. Regularly mist or water to keep the soil consistently moist. Harvest in about 10-14 days when they reach a height of 5-15 centimetres. You can grow them indoors throughout the year, ensuring a constant supply and they’re ideal for vertical farming as they are small space friendly. Rocket microgreens offer a lucrative opportunity due to their rapid growth, small space requirements, and year-round production. Their popularity in culinary circles and the trend toward healthier eating make them a profitable choice for urban and small-scale farming, meeting market demand for fresh, locally sourced greens. Rocket microgreens, also known as arugula microgreens, are a powerhouse of nutrients. They’re abundant in vitamins, particularly vitamin A for healthy vision and skin, vitamin C for immune support, and vitamin K for bone health. These microgreens also provide essential minerals like calcium for strong bones and potassium for heart health. Rich in antioxidants, they help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Moreover, rocket microgreens are a source of dietary fibre, aiding digestion. Rocket microgreens have a flavour profile similar to mature arugula leaves. They offer a peppery, slightly spicy, and nutty taste with a mild bitterness.
