Sweetcorn Shoots/Microgreen Royalty F1 Seeds
Vegetable Seeds from Sow Seeds Ltd
Sweetcorn Shoots Royalty F1 (aka Corn Shoots/Popcorn Shoots) are quick growing micro-leaves that are harvested after only 6-8 days when they are about 7cm tall. These bright yellow leaves have a very intense sweet flavour that adds a colourful, crunchy garnish to salads and other dishes.
In order to develop the sweet taste and bright yellow colour, Sweetcorn Shoots Royalty F1 need to be grown in a warm place in complete darkness from sowing to picking - the inside of a cupboard in the house is ideal. If they are left to grow for too long or not grown in the dark they will be fibrous and not tender to eat.
Sweetcorn Shoots Royalty are quick growing micro-leaves with an intensely sweet flavour and are perfect garnish that adds flavour and colour to a dishes.
Growing as a Microgreen.
- Soak seeds for 8-12 hours
- Rinse and drain thoroughly
- Rinse and drain every 8-12 hours until your seeds show the tiniest of roots
- Plant seed in a tray on thoroughly moistened compost
- Cover your crop with another tray, or a plate - to keep light out and moisture in
- Keep your compost moist by watering lightly as needed. Don't drench
- Use Coconut Coir and you likely won't have to water at all after planting!
- When your plants have begun to show leaves, remove the cover and move your crop to a well-lit location
- Harvest when the leaves are open and 2cm - 7cm tall (day 5-14)
- Cut just above the medium, with scissors or sharp knife
Hulls may be removed but they are not harmful to eat, removal helps to minimise spoilage in storage.
