Grown as a microgreen it gives pale green stems and broad, oval seed leaves covered in fine, soft hairs. The taste surprises most people: fresh cucumber with a hint of melon and a faint, clean bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eBorage takes longer than most microgreens. The large seeds need a few days to wake up, the tray stays 4–6 days in the dark and you cut it 14–17 days after sowing. In return you get a flavour no other microgreen in the range has, and broad leaves that look good on a plate. Water from below and give the tray good airflow: damp, still air around large seeds invites mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eWhy 70 g per tray? Borage seeds are large, about 50 to the gram, so a dense tray needs much more seed by weight than small-seeded crops such as broccoli or radish. Sowing 60–70 g gives a full, even crop of broad leaves; much less leaves gaps between the seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch5\u003eIN THE KITCHEN\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eUse borage microgreens raw, wherever cucumber would fit: in green salads, on chilled soups, stirred into yoghurt dips, with smoked fish and soft cheeses, in sandwiches and summer rolls, or as a garnish for lemonade and gin drinks.
