Snap one and you get an immediate hit of gentle garlic fragrance, followed by a mild, subtly sweet flavour that outshines the harsh punch of a mature bulb. They are the ingredient that makes a plain omelette look like restaurant food — scatter a handful over eggs, ramen, or smoked salmon blinis and the result is instantly elevated. This is a slow grower that rewards patience: once you watch that dense mat of delicate greens push the cover tray upward after days of patient germination, you will understand exactly why chefs seek these out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eGROWING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:10px 0\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003ePrepare your tray and medium: fill a drainage tray with a fine, well-draining potting mix or coconut coir to about 3–4 cm depth, firm it gently, and pre-moisten thoroughly from below — the medium should feel like a wrung-out sponge.

Use a spice shaker or your fingertips for even distribution — you will notice the flat black seeds look like tiny coffee beans against the pale growing medium.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eCover and press: mist the seeds lightly with a spray bottle, then place a second tray directly on top and add a small weight (a full water bottle works perfectly). This gentle pressure encourages the roots to anchor into the medium. Do not mist again unless the medium feels dry — the goal is moisture, not puddles.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eBlackout period (days 1–6): keep the stacked trays in a warm spot at 18–22 °C. Germination is slow — check once daily and water from below only if needed. Around day 4–6 you will feel the lid beginning to lift as the shoots push upward — that is your signal that life is happening!\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eIntroduce light (day 6–8): remove the cover tray and move yours to a spot with gentle indirect light or a grow light positioned 20–30 cm above. Garlic chives prefer softer light — avoid harsh direct midday sun, which can make the shoots leggy and pale. You will notice the shoots begin to deepen from yellow-white to a bright, fresh green within 24–48 hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eWater from below only: add a small amount of water to the reservoir tray every 1–2 days, just enough to keep the growing medium moist. Overwatering is the most common mistake with this variety — if in doubt, wait. Good airflow and restrained watering will keep mould at bay and produce strong, upright stems.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eHarvest (days 14–21): once your shoots reach 10–15 cm tall, harvest with clean, sharp scissors just above the soil line. The dark seed husks are edible and add a pleasantly chewy texture — leave them on. Store unwashed in an airtight container in the fridge; they keep beautifully for 5–7 days. For a bonus, leave the root mat in place — a second (often even lusher) harvest may follow.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"deliseeds","offers":[{"title":"10 g","offer_id":58454070526339,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g","offer_id":58454070559107,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":58454070591875,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":58454070624643,"sku":null,"price":87.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":58454070657411,"sku":null,"price":157.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":58454070690179,"sku":null,"price":291.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/deliseeds.com\/products\/garlic-chives-microgreens-seeds","provider":"Deliseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
