colorful and flavorful mix of coriander, red beet, cabbage, radish, and pepper cress that can be grown indoors in all seasons, even winter. Sow weekly, indoors or outdoors, for a continual harvest of fresh microgreens. The earlier harvest will be more tender, but the later harvest will be more flavorful. For the more impatient, this super easy-to-grow and fast-sprouting mix can also be grown hydroponically as sprouts for almost instant gratification.
