Growing Directions:
Sweet corn microgreen shoots are easy to grow and will grow well on soil or a hydroponic grow mat, but we prefer soil for this amazing micro. There are a few key differences with the growing technique of this micro from most other micros. With corn shoots you must harvest at around 7 days. If grown longer than that they begin to develop their leaves which are very fibrous and not good to eat.
*** Grow yellow popcorn microgreen shoots in the dark the entire time. Exposure to light will cause them to turn green and develop fibers. The flavor also changes considerably. Try a cabinet or bin of some kind to keep out the light ***
