Non-GMO red amaranth microgreen seeds are a great choice for growing nutritious and visually appealing microgreens. Red amaranth microgreens have a vibrant color and a mild, slightly nutty flavor. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Steps to Grow Red Amaranth Microgreens:

1. Prepare the Tray:
   • Fill your shallow tray with about 1-2 inches of moist potting mix. Make sure it’s evenly spread and lightly packed.
2. Sow the Seeds:
   • Sprinkle red amaranth seeds evenly over the surface of the soil. Aim for a density of about 5-10 seeds per square inch.
   • Lightly press the seeds into the soil, but don’t cover them with too much soil, as they need light to germinate.
3. Water the Seeds:
   • Mist the soil gently with water using a spray bottle. Ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged.
4. Cover for Germination:
   • Cover the tray with a humidity dome or plastic wrap to maintain moisture until germination. Remove the cover once you see sprouts, which usually takes 3-7 days.
5. Provide Light:
   • After germination, place the tray in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight or under grow lights. They need about 12-16 hours of light each day for optimal growth.
6. Watering:
   • Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Mist daily or as needed, ensuring the microgreens don’t dry out.
7. Thin if Necessary:
   • If the seedlings are crowded, you can thin them out gently to give the remaining ones more space to grow.
8. Harvesting:
   • Red amaranth microgreens are ready to harvest in about 7-14 days, when they reach 2-3 inches tall. Use scissors to cut them just above the soil line.
9. Enjoy:
   • Rinse your microgreens gently and use them fresh in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish!
     

     Tips:

     • Temperature: Keep the growing area at a temperature of about 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal growth.
     • Airflow: Ensure good airflow around your microgreens to prevent mold and keep them healthy.

     With a little care, you’ll have a delicious and colorful crop of red amaranth microgreens to enjoy!
