Salad Rocket microgreens, also known as arugula microgreens, have a distinct and peppery flavor. They are known for their spicy, nutty, and slightly bitter taste. The flavor of Salad Rocket microgreens intensifies as they mature.
The best time to harvest Salad Rocket microgreens for optimal flavor is when they have reached a height of around 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) and have developed their first set of true leaves. At this stage, the microgreens will have a good balance of flavor and texture.
To harvest Salad Rocket microgreens, use clean scissors or a sharp knife to cut them just above the soil level, leaving the roots behind. Rinse the harvested microgreens gently under cool water to remove any soil particles.
It’s important to note that the taste preferences for microgreens can vary from person to person. Some individuals prefer to harvest them at a younger stage, around 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm), for a milder flavor, while others may enjoy the bolder taste of more mature microgreens. Feel free to experiment and find the harvest time that suits your personal preference.
