How Do You Harvest And Store Microgreens?
How do you harvest and store microgreens? To harvest standard microgreens (10-14 days old), cut them above the soil line (or above the mat for hydroponic growers). When storing, first wash and then keep the microgreens in a breathable plastic container in the refrigerator until ready for use.
How do you store microgreens after harvesting?
At 4°C (39°F), the shelf life for some microgreens might be 14–21 days. Turn the temperature up 6°C (11°F) and you reduce shelf life by 50% (7-10 days). The bottom shelf is the coolest part of the fridge. Keep your microgreens here in an airtight container to keep them fresh and free from spoilage.
How long do microgreens last after harvest?
about 7 to 12 days
So how long do microgreens keep? Most varieties of microgreens will last about 7 to 12 days when stored properly in the refrigerator, about the same amount of time as other leafy greens like lettuce.
How do you store microgreens at home?
The best way to store microgreens is first to place them between damp paper towels. Next, please put them in a resealable plastic bag or container, and pop them in the fridge. Done! Stored this way, your microgreens will last for about a week.
Can I store microgreens in Mason jars?
STORAGE: Dry the sprouts and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. If there is excess moisture, the sprouts may become moldy. Use quart-sized mason jars – as the seeds sprout, they take up 2-3 times the original amount of space in the jar.
