Growing pink radish microgreens is similar to growing other types of radish microgreens. Here are the steps to grow pink radish microgreens:

1. Growing Tray: You’ll need a shallow tray with drainage holes. Standard nursery trays or shallow containers work well.
2. Growing Medium: Use a high-quality potting mix or seedling mix. Ensure it’s sterile to prevent diseases.
3. Water Sprayer: A spray bottle for misting the microgreens.
4. Plastic Wrap or Lid: You can use plastic wrap or a clear lid to cover the tray initially.

Steps to Grow Pink Radish Microgreens:

1. Prepare the Tray: Fill the tray with approximately 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5-3.8 cm) of your chosen growing medium. Level it out evenly.
2. Sow the Seeds: Sprinkle the pink radish microgreen seeds evenly over the surface. These seeds can be densely packed, so you don’t need to worry about spacing.
3. Cover the Seeds: Gently press the seeds into the soil or growing medium with your hand. Cover the tray with plastic wrap or a clear lid to create a mini greenhouse effect.
4. Germination: Place the tray in a location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Maintain a temperature around 70°F (21°C). Mist the seeds daily to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering.
5. Remove Cover: Once the seeds have germinated (usually within 2-4 days), remove the plastic wrap or lid. Continue to mist the microgreens regularly.
6. Light: Transfer the tray to a well-lit area with indirect sunlight or place it under grow lights. Pink radish microgreens require good light for healthy growth.
7. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but don’t let it become waterlogged. Watering from the bottom can help prevent fungal issues. Use the water sprayer to mist the microgreens daily.
8. Harvest: Pink radish microgreens are typically ready for harvest in about 10-14 days after germination. They should be around 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) tall. Use scissors to cut them just above the soil level.
9. Enjoy: Use your freshly harvested pink radish microgreens as a colorful and flavorful garnish for salads, sandwiches, or as a nutritious addition to various dishes.
