Growing Directions:
Cauliflower grows very fast and is one of the easiest microgreens to grow. It can be sown a little more thickly that other seeds. Keep in the dark with the black-out dome for about 4-6 days and then flip the lid on about day 6 or 7 to put a little stress on the emerging seedlings. This will strengthen the crop. Cauliflower is a hardy and substantial microgreen crop with a fresh, mild cabbage flavor.
