Microgreen - Nasturtium "Empress of India" (CONVENTIONAL)

Nasturtium Microgreen

Nasturtium are the young shoots of the Tropaeolum majus plant, a fast-growing herbaceous annual widely appreciated for its vibrant flowers and culinary uses. These microgreens are the early-stage growth of nasturtium seeds, typically harvested 14-15 days after germination, when they have developed their cotyledon (seed) leaves and sometimes their first true leaves.

Key Features:

1. Flavor: Nasturtium microgreens have a unique, peppery flavor with subtle sweet and tangy notes, often likened to watercress or radish.
2. Nutritional Value: Rich in vitamins (A, C, and E), minerals (like potassium and iron), and antioxidants, nasturtium microgreens are a nutrient-dense addition to meals.
3. Culinary Uses: Commonly used as a garnish in salads, sandwiches, soups, and other dishes to add a spicy, zesty kick and vibrant color.
4. Growth: They are easy to grow indoors or outdoors, thriving in well-draining soil or hydroponic systems with ample sunlight and moderate watering.

Unique Traits:

• Both the leaves and stems are edible.
• Known for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Adds a decorative appeal with its distinctive rounded leaves and striking green color.

Nasturtium microgreens are valued for their combination of aesthetics, taste, and health benefits, making them a favorite among chefs and home gardeners.
