FULL SPECIFICATION TABLE
General Specification
| Common Name | Red Clover microgreens |
| Botanical Name | Trifolium pratense |
| Seed Type | Conventional, untreated, non-GMO |
| Stem/Leaf Color | Fine, pale cream stems greening rapidly on light exposure; small, three-lobed cloverleaf cotyledons in bright light green; airy, low-density canopy |
| Flavor & Texture | Very mild, subtly sweet, faintly neutral; silky-soft bite with delicate, melt-in-the-mouth texture |
| Seed Count per 10g | ≈4,500–5,500 seeds (≈450–550 per gram) |
Cultivation Data
| Difficulty | Easy — one of the most beginner-friendly microgreens available |
| Preferred Medium | Coco coir or hemp/jute mat; fine, moisture-retentive surface preferred; can also be grown on hydroponic mats |
| Seeding Density (1020 tray) | 12 g per 1020 tray (25×50 cm) — low-density home-grower rate; commercial growers typically use 25–30 g |
| Seeding Density (10x10 cm) | ~1.0 g per 10×10 cm |
| Expected Yield | ≈180 g per 25×50 cm tray at 12 g seed rate (approx. 12×–16× seed weight); yield scales with seed density |
| Soaking | Not required; optional 4–8 h presoak in cool water can improve uniformity |
| Blackout Days | 3–5 days with light weight or stacked tray (note: 2–3 days may be sufficient in warm conditions but 3–5 days is the more widely recommended range) |
| Watering, pH & Temp | Bottom watering preferred; keep medium evenly moist but not saturated. pH 6.0–6.5. Temperature 18–22 °C (up to 24 °C acceptable). Good airflow is essential after germination to prevent damping off. |
| Sprouting Time | 2–3 days |
| Harvest Time | 8–14 days; harvest earlier (day 8–10) for sweetest flavour; flavour becomes more neutral after day 10 and may turn slightly bitter if left too long |
Health & Nutrition
ABOUT
Red Clover microgreens are one of the most rewarding crops you can grow: tiny, thread-fine stems crowned with delicate cloverleaf cotyledons that form an airy, luminous green canopy unlike almost anything else on a microgreens tray. The flavour is whisper-mild and faintly sweet — closer to fresh spring water than any bold green — with a melt-in-the-mouth softness that makes them a natural cushion for stronger ingredients like sharp cheeses, cured salmon, or punchy mustard dressings. Scientifically, red clover (Trifolium pratense) stands out for its uniquely high concentration of isoflavones — particularly formononetin and biochanin A — compounds studied for their role in hormonal balance and bone density, making this one of the more intentionally nutritious crops you can add to your growing rotation. Stocks sell fast: sow a tray today and you will be harvesting in under two weeks.
