Kale Microgreens

Microgreen

Brassica napus

Overview
Kale microgreens are delicate, tender seedlings harvested at 10-14 days, featuring small green leaves with a mild, fresh flavor distinctly softer than mature kale. These nutrient-dense microgreens offer a subtle cabbage note with natural sweetness, making them ideal for salads, sandwiches, and smoothie bowls. Easy to grow indoors under lights or in bright windowsills, they mature quickly compared to their full-size counterparts while maintaining the nutritional benefits kale is known for. Perfect for beginners seeking a simple, rewarding crop.
