FULL SPECIFICATION TABLE
General Specification
| Common Name | Cilantro Split Microgreens (split seed) |
| Botanical Name | Coriandrum sativum |
| Seed Type | Conventional, untreated, non-GMO |
| Stem/Leaf Color | Deep green frilly cotyledons on sturdy pale-green stems; turns from yellow to vivid green within a day of light exposure. |
| Flavor & Texture | Bright, citrus-edged cilantro aroma; clean and sweeter than mature leaves with a crisp, juicy bite. |
| Seed Count per 10g | ≈2,800–3,200 pieces (≈280–320/g) — split seed. |
Cultivation Data
| Difficulty | Medium (slower than brassicas; requires patience during germination, but split seed improves consistency). |
| Preferred Medium | Soil or coco coir; fine, flat surface for good seed-to-medium contact. |
| Seeding Density (1020 tray) | 35 g per 1020 tray (25×50 cm) |
| Seeding Density (10x10 cm) | 2.8 g per 10×10 cm |
| Expected Yield | ≈250–300 g per 1020 tray (approx. 7×–9× seed weight). |
| Soaking | No soaking required or recommended for split seed; soaking may encourage mold. |
| Blackout Days | 4–5 days (cilantro is a slower germinator; allow until most seedlings are visibly standing). |
| Watering, pH & Temp | Bottom watering preferred once seedlings are up; keep medium evenly moist but not waterlogged. pH 6.0–6.5. Temperature 18–22 °C. Ensure good airflow after germination to reduce mold risk. |
| Sprouting Time | 3–6 days (split seed speeds and evens germination; cooler temperatures slow emergence). |
| Harvest Time | 14–21 days at cotyledon stage; up to 21–28 days if growing to first true leaf. |
Health & Nutrition
| Vitamins | Vitamins A (beta-carotene), C, K; folate; small amounts of B-group vitamins. |
| Minerals | Potassium, manganese, iron, calcium, phosphorus. |
| Notable Compounds | Linalool (a monoterpenoid terpene alcohol, the dominant essential-oil constituent), polyphenols (flavonoids including quercetin), carotenoids (lutein/zeaxanthin, beta-carotene). |
| Health Benefits | Supports immune function and antioxidant defence via vitamins C and K and polyphenols; carotenoid content (beta-carotene) supports eye health; carminative properties may aid digestive comfort; linalool has documented neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties in research literature. |
ABOUT
Cilantro split microgreens are nature's two-for-one deal: each half-seed carries its own embryo, giving you denser, more uniform stands without doubling your seed order. At harvest the cotyledons are a vivid, deep green, and the moment you cut them the tray releases that unmistakable bright, citrusy-herbal scent that fills the room. Unlike fully grown cilantro, these microgreens deliver the same bold flavour with a noticeably sweeter, cleaner finish and none of the occasional soapy sharpness — laid over a fish taco or stirred into a fresh salsa verde, they elevate the whole plate instantly. Start a tray now and you will have restaurant-quality cilantro micro-herbs on your kitchen bench in under three weeks.
