FULL SPECIFICATION TABLE
General Specification
| Common Name | Spinach microgreens |
| Botanical Name | Spinacia oleracea |
| Seed Type | Conventional, untreated, non-GMO |
| Stem/Leaf Color | Dark-green cotyledons and first leaves; pale green stems |
| Flavor & Texture | Mild, sweet-green spinach taste; tender leaves, juicy stems |
| Seed Count per 10g | ≈700–900 seeds (≈70–90 per gram; varies by cultivar) |
Cultivation Data
| Difficulty | Medium (cool-loving; slower to germinate than most brassicas) |
| Preferred Medium | Fine, well-drained potting soil or coco coir; firm seed-to-soil contact essential |
| Seeding Density (1020 tray) | 60 g per 1020 tray (25×50 cm) |
| Seeding Density (10x10 cm) | 4.8 g per 10×10 cm |
| Expected Yield | ≈200–250 g per 1020 tray (approximately 3×–4× seed weight) |
| Soaking | Optional: pre-soak 8–12 h in cool water; pre-chill seeds in fridge 12–24 h improves germination rate |
| Blackout Days | 5–7 days (cool and dark for strong, upright start) |
| Watering, pH & Temp | Keep medium evenly moist; bottom-water preferred. pH 6.2–6.5. Ideal temperature 16–20 °C; ensure good airflow to prevent mould |
| Sprouting Time | 7–10 days (under cool conditions) |
| Harvest Time | 16–20 days (microgreen/cotyledon stage) |
Health & Nutrition
| Vitamins | A (β-carotene), C, E, K, folate (B9) |
| Minerals | Iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, manganese |
| Notable Compounds | Lutein, zeaxanthin, dietary nitrates, polyphenols (including quercetin rhamnoside, biflorin), chlorophyll derivatives, alpha-lipoic acid |
| Health Benefits | Supports immune function and eye health (lutein/zeaxanthin protect against macular degeneration); vitamin K supports normal blood clotting and bone health; dietary nitrates support healthy blood pressure; antioxidant polyphenols may inhibit formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs); studies indicate 2.5–3× higher nutrient density compared to mature spinach |
ABOUT
Spinach microgreens are the closest thing in the microgreen world to pure, unadulterated green flavour — sweet, gentle, and unmistakably spinach from the very first bite, with none of the bitterness that sometimes creeps into mature leaves. Their deep-green cotyledons and pale, juicy stems have an almost silky texture that makes them one of the most versatile garnishes in a kitchen, equally at home in a green smoothie, tucked into a croque-monsieur, or piled onto a warm bowl of lentil soup. Unlike fast-and-furious brassica crops, spinach takes its time — a slower germination and longer growing window reward the grower with noticeably fuller, more substantial leaves that hold up beautifully on a plate. Grow them now and enjoy a harvest that proves the best things really are worth waiting for.
