Microgreens vary in taste, which can range from neutral to spicy, slightly sour or even bitter, depending on the variety. Generally speaking, their flavor is considered strong and concentrated.Other Features And Applications : Rocket microgreens (also known as Arugula) are the mini versions of the spicy mature leaves. Growing rocket as microgreens gives the same delicious peppery taste as the full-sized grown ones.

1. Prepare the Seed Tray:

• Fill your seed trays with seed-starting mix, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
• Moisten the mix thoroughly, ensuring it’s evenly moist but not waterlogged.

2. Sow the Seeds:

• Scatter rocket (arugula) seeds evenly over the moistened seed-starting mix. Rocket microgreens can be sown relatively densely.
• Gently press the seeds into the mix using a flat board or the palm of your hand to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

3. Cover the Seeds (Optional):

• You can cover the seeds with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to create a mini greenhouse effect. This can aid in germination. However, this step is optional.
• If you choose to cover the seeds, remove the cover once the seedlings start to emerge.

4. Provide Light and Water:

• Place the seed trays in a location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Rocket microgreens do not require direct sunlight at this stage.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to water gently. Water once or twice a day, as needed.

5. Watch for Growth:

• Rocket microgreens will start to sprout in about 3-5 days.
• Once they reach a height of about 1-2 inches and have a set of true leaves (usually within 7-14 days), they are ready for harvesting.

6. Harvesting:

• Harvest rocket microgreens by cutting them just above the soil level using clean scissors or shears.
• Harvest when they are young and have a fresh green color. Typically, this is around 7-14 days after sowing.

7. Enjoy Your Rocket Microgreens:

• Rocket microgreens have a peppery, slightly spicy flavor. Use them to add zest to salads, sandwiches, wraps, or as a garnish for various dishes.
