Kale microgreens are grown entirely indoors on shallow trays. Prepare moist coir or potting soil in a shallow tray, scatter seeds thickly across the surface, and cover lightly with more soil. Keep moist and place in a sunny location. Growth occurs over 10-20 days with no transplanting required.
Cut kale microgreens with scissors once the sprouts are open and full looking, typically 10-20 days after sowing. Harvest by cutting just above soil level. There is no waiting for true leaves or specific color changes; readiness is indicated by the visual fullness and openness of the sprouts themselves.
