Red Mustard Microgreen Seeds
Want to add a burst of vibrant color to your microgreens? Our red mustard microgreen seeds have been carefully selected as they have a rich crimson colour at the cotyledon stage.
Unlike other heirloom red mustard varieties, like Red Giant, this variety has a consistently red leaf with minimal to no green in the leaf. Please note: Mustards thrive in cooler temperatures, so results may differ in hot temperatures. Adjust your growing conditions to maximise the red leaf colour.
Benefits of this variety:
- Fast and easy to grow. From seed to harvest in approximately 10 days.
- Excellent garnish due to contrast of deep red cotyledons and light green stems.
- Reliable and hardy variety.
- Can be grown to baby leaf stage.
- Has an attractive coral/staghorn leaf structure at baby leaf stage.
