At the microgreen stage the flavour is soft and gently mineral — like the most delicate young spinach, but with a subtle earthiness that makes it pair beautifully with citrus vinaigrettes, creamy cheeses, and cured fish. The vivid colour holds brilliantly in raw preparations, making a single pinch of these greens transform any plate from ordinary to restaurant-worthy. Unlike spinach it doesn't bolt in summer heat, meaning you can grow flush after flush all year long — so there is genuinely no bad time to start your first tray.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eGROWING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:10px 0\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \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 \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eFill your tray with about 3–4 cm of fine, moist potting soil or coco coir and level it gently.

Remove the cover and move your tray to bright indirect light or under a grow light for 12–16 hours a day.

Cut cleanly just above the soil line with sharp scissors, harvest dry (don't water the night before), and refrigerate immediately. Shelf life is 5–7 days when stored in a sealed container with a small piece of paper towel to absorb moisture.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"deliseeds","offers":[{"title":"10 g","offer_id":57438458577283,"sku":"ORACH-RED-0010g","price":22.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 g","offer_id":57438458610051,"sku":"ORACH-RED-0025g","price":44.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g","offer_id":57438458642819,"sku":"ORACH-RED-0050g","price":74.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":57438458675587,"sku":"ORACH-RED-0100g","price":131.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":57438458708355,"sku":"ORACH-RED-0250g","price":261.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":57438458741123,"sku":"ORACH-RED-0500g","price":435.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/deliseeds.com\/products\/orach-red-french-spinach-microgreens-seeds-1","provider":"Deliseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
