Carrot Microgreens

Microgreen

Daucus carota var. sativus

Overview
Carrot Microgreens are delicate, feathery seedlings harvested at 16-25 days, showcasing fine, fern-like green foliage with pale root stems. This heirloom variety offers a distinctive sweet carrot taste balanced by earthy, slightly bitter herbal notes uncommon in typical microgreens. Best grown in fine, well-draining seed starting mix under full sun to partial shade (4-6+ hours), they present a moderate to challenging cultivation difficulty but reward growers with vibrant, nutrient-dense greens perfect for garnishing and flavor complexity in dishes.
Planting
Soak seeds 24 hours, then sow densely on surface. Cover very lightly as seeds need some light to germinate.
Growing
Sun: partial. Soil pH: 6–6.8. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 7-14.
Pests & diseases
