The ikea tray on the left is just great for growing microgreens. It's sad that they stopped selling them and the hydroponic kits here in germany. Anyways, great video again, thanks for sharing.
Put out Chia seeds for the birds and a bunch of them blew into my tomato plants and they’re sprouting I’m definitely gonna eat them once I get a little bigger! They seem effortless
How to prevent mold with any microgreens? Hydrogen peroxide doesnt seem to work either. I use soil, a fan, and dehumidifier. I always cover my seeds and have weight on them to help the root go down.thats where the mold problem happens. I havent tried not covering the seedsbfor better air flow. But it seems like if you dont cover the seeds they will dry out and not grow? Also the roots might not grow downward?
I have the same problem. I'm doing the paper towel method with an open tray and my seeds either dried out even though I was spraying them 3+ times a day or molded from too much water :/ were you able to figure it out?
U dont need soil or paper towel, just use water. I use these 4 tier plastic trays from amazon that trickle water down each layer, takes just seconds every watering and ive had successful harvesting everytime
These are microgreen, you don't get seeds unless you isolate 1 sprout in a bigger pot with soil and additional plant nutrient and grow the plant to its full maturity.
I think all the fats and proteins in the seeds is converted into vitamins and nutrients when the seed germinates, so microgreens probably don't have much protein at all.
You actually get much more nutrients from sprouted seed (besides the fat and some protein) because sprouting activates "enzymes" which are key players to how well we absorb and utilize nutrition and our overall health and well being. Then there is far more beneficial things that sprouted seeds have that non-sprouted do not because they are (locked-in), although I feel with Chia because they (gel-up) my intuition tells me it is not mandatory to sprout them, unless you want the greens for the chlorophyll ect..
I am using Walmart great value chia seeds to sprout in a terracotta dish. There is a proposition 95 warning on them. Is that why they don’t sprout? I soak the seeds 8 hours snd mist daily. Yet There is no response.
Thanks for response. I am going to try another brand next. Next time I buy alot of seeds I will test a small batch first. I may try contacting Walmarts great value to see how they treat the seeds that causes them to not sprout. There was a proposition 95 warning online on them
Somewhat yes but not entirely foolproof, hydrogen which is hard expensive to get works better. But I should put cinnamon up to the test again. The main issue is if the seeds are too wet.

Yeah same here in Ikea in sweden, i can find them elsewhere but they cost like the double and are smaller. So I'll hold on to these. Thanks!
That's because you're supposed to eat bugs
awesome video❤
What? @@Fatelovesirony960
I was going to ask where can I buy that tray, I'm very disappointed to hear they don't sell them anymore.

How did it go?
This is very healthy, tasty and useful!
In juice yes!
Just filled a Ferrero Roche tray with the tissue method today .
Omg thank you, now I will know how to repurpose those trays next time I get any, great idea :)
Thank you for reusing!

You could try to mist the microgreens regularly and make sure the soil/substrate is not too wet. The roots usually forms a mat.

This is super cute! I love it, Thanks
Amazing planting, I want make this also
I hope you have tried it yet! 😁
On what temperature is optimum to grow them ?
Thank you! So simple🫶🏽🙏🏽💚❤️🧡🤍🩵💜
Is this regular chia seeds I can find in grocery stores or special chia seeds for micro greens? I’m confused
just regular chia seeds :) you can do this with any veggie btw! microgreens are basically just baby veggies!
Exactly!
I hope it works out for me this time. I used to put a thin layer of paper, and they just dried up every time
I wasn't sure if the actual plant can be eaten 😅😂 thanks for share. I still have a small question.. how do you get back the seeds? How much the wait?
These are microgreen, you don't get seeds unless you isolate 1 sprout in a bigger pot with soil and additional plant nutrient and grow the plant to its full maturity.
@@newmoore4894 alright! Thanks, I have try before with organic chia seeds but no luck .. I will be trying again or try this. :)
this was awesome thank you!
I am making chicken stir fry with my chia and lintel sprouts rn.
Which were best? Hard to tell
The ones from the soil were bigger so if I regrew them for size I would go for the soil
Can make a tea the leaves of chia seeds?
Sure!
any clue on how much protein chia microgreens contain?
I think all the fats and proteins in the seeds is converted into vitamins and nutrients when the seed germinates, so microgreens probably don't have much protein at all.
17 percent protein for unsprouted seeds.
You actually get much more nutrients from sprouted seed (besides the fat and some protein) because sprouting activates "enzymes" which are key players to how well we absorb and utilize nutrition and our overall health and well being.

The seeds that i put on tissue paper had an odor i cant describe a day after. Same goes to the seeds i soaked in a jar. Is that normal?
I can't remember, they do smell weird in general and I only consume them blended with apple or orange juice.
Where did you buy The tray for The ones grown in water :)? Swedish btw :) 3

The should swell up directly, if not they are not viable for growing. Seems kind of weird, even if they were old some would still grow

i heard cinnamon powder can prevent mold

Interesting, do the sprouts have as much fiber as only the seed does?
Dunno man
Can you link the seeds you bought?
Any chia seeds will work bro
@@newmoore4894 cool
I buy mine in aldi
Thank you for the video. Will try it tomorrow by using the paper towel
Awesome!
Im gonna make these
And blend with juice 😁
Wow
😁
Great for tortoise food.
the slurping at the end
Haha!

Add them to sandwichs
Perfect choice! Or blend in smoothies
lol u had to grind them
I live for the grind!
If you want to plant chia seeds you need patience
Patience is a virtue
