Description

Umuthi Radish (China Rose) Sprouting Seeds are seeds ofRaphanus sativus, selected for growing fresh, crisp sprouts or colourful microgreens at home. China Rose produces attractive pink-toned growth with a characteristically peppery radish flavour and a subtle sweetness, making it an easy way to add fresh flavour, crunch and colour to everyday meals.

The seeds are quick to germinate and suitable for both jar sprouting and tray-grown microgreens. Use the harvested sprouts or microgreens in salads, sandwiches, wraps, bowls, sushi and savoury garnishes. Why we love it: China Rose combines the satisfying bite of radish with striking colour and a relatively quick growing cycle, so it is a particularly rewarding choice for both new and regular home sprouters.

Microgreens are generally ready to harvest in approximately 10-14 days, once well developed. Care & Safety Wash hands thoroughly before handling seeds or sprouts.

Avoid stagnant water and allow adequate drainage and airflow while sprouting. Refrigerate harvested sprouts in a clean, sealed container and use while fresh. Discard sprouts showing mould, unusual odour, sliminess or other signs of spoilage.
