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:

• Spread sesame seeds evenly over the moistened seed-starting mix. You can sow them densely, as sesame microgreens don’t need much space.
• 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. Sesame 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:

• Sesame 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 sesame 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 Sesame Microgreens:

• Sesame microgreens have a nutty and slightly tangy flavor. Use them as a garnish for salads, sandwiches, sushi, or any dish that benefits from a mild sesame flavor.
