    ABOUT

    Green Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) microgreens deliver one of the most distinctive flavour experiences in the microgreen world: a vivid, clean lemon-tartness that comes entirely from natural oxalic acid, with no citrus fruit in sight. The cotyledons are a deep, saturated green with a smooth, almost waxy surface and a satisfying snap between the teeth — delicate but never limp. A small pinch scattered over a fillet of salmon or stirred into a warm cream sauce is enough to lift the whole dish, cutting through richness the way a squeeze of lemon would but with far more elegance. Sorrel seed is a genuine rarity in the home microgreen repertoire, and growing your own means access to a garnish that most supermarkets simply do not carry — start a tray today and have something genuinely impressive on the plate in under four weeks.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Fill your tray with a 3–4 cm layer of good-quality potting compost or coco coir and water it until evenly moist but not waterlogged — press the surface gently level with your hand. Sorrel's tiny seeds need firm, close contact with the medium to germinate well.
    2 Scatter 3.5 g of seed evenly across the 25×50 cm tray surface — no soaking needed, just spread them as uniformly as you can. Press the seeds lightly into the surface with a flat board or the back of a second tray; you want contact, not burial.
    3 Cover the tray with a lid or an inverted empty tray and move it somewhere cool and dark — a cellar, a cupboard near an exterior wall, or a room around 15–17 °C works beautifully. The cool start mimics sorrel's natural spring conditions and helps germination stay even.
    4 Check the tray daily after day 3 — within 6–8 days you will start to see tiny pale shoots pushing upward in a satisfying green wave. Once most seeds have germinated and seedlings reach about 1 cm, remove the cover and move the tray to a bright spot or under a grow light.
    5 Begin bottom-watering: pour room-temperature water into the outer (solid) tray and let the growing medium absorb it from below for 20–30 minutes, then drain. Aim for a pH of 6.0–6.5 and keep ambient temperature at 18–20 °C — this is when the vivid green colour really develops.
    6 Watch for the first true arrow-shaped leaves beginning to emerge above the cotyledons around day 16–18 — this is sorrel showing its character, and the flavour intensifies noticeably at this stage. The aroma around the tray will take on a faint, clean lemony sharpness.
    7 Harvest at 20–24 days when the cotyledons are fully open and the first true leaves are just appearing, using clean scissors to cut just above the growing medium. Rinse gently, shake dry, and use immediately — the flavour is at its most vibrant within hours of cutting.
