Rapeseed Canola - Microgreens Seeds

Growing Rapeseed Microgreen Seeds

Canola Rape microgreens may be grown on a soil or hydroponic medium. However, we always recommend starting with soil because it is the most reliable method of growing seeds. Start by preparing a tray of moist soil. Spread enough seeds over the surface. Be careful not to oversow, as crowding can reduce success. Cover with a layer of soil-based medium and water. Emergence happens in about 5-7 days. The crunchy microgreen leaves will be mature in about 7-14 days. Harvest when the stems are about 5-10 cm tall.

Because rape is a part of the Brassica family, you may notice a similar but milder smell to broccoli seeds. They boast a spiciness similar to mustard or kale that is milder and pleasantly flavorful.

Benefits of Rapeseed Microgreens

While rape microgreens contain many nutrients, they are a great source of Vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to support skin, eye, hair growth, and the immune system.

Culinary Tips

These microgreens can be used in a variety of ways, including stir-fries, sandwiches, smoothies, soups, or with meat and seasonings. Cook, or use fresh and raw.
