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.

Rinse and drain approximately twice daily and keep the jar in a cool, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Sprouts are generally ready in about 4-6 days. Give them a final thorough rinse before use.

As Microgreens: Sow evenly onto a moist, well-draining growing medium and gently press the seeds onto the surface. Keep moist but not waterlogged. Once germinated, move the tray into good light. Microgreens are generally ready to harvest in approximately 10-14 days, once well developed. Safety Instructions 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.
