Description
Calabrese Broccoli microgreens are a grower favorite thanks to their mild, fresh broccoli flavor and classic microgreen appearance. Compared with Waltham 29, Calabrese produces a more traditional, delicate broccoli microgreen while still offering dependable, vigorous growth. They’re an excellent choice for salads, sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, and more.

Growing Guide
What you'll need:
- 1 shallow tray with no holes
- 1 shallow tray with holes
- Broccoli seed (18 grams)
- Grow medium
- Something to mist the soil and seeds with
- 1 shallow tray for stacking
- 15lb weight (preferably a large, flat concrete paver)
Instructions:
- Make sure your grow room is around 72-74 degrees (22-24 Celsius). We keep ours at 72 degrees (22-23 Celsius)
- Put your tray with holes inside of a tray without holes
- Fill your tray (with holes) with soil (we fill them about 3/4 full), and mist your soil to a normal planting amount
- Spread the seeds evenly across the entire tray
- Mist the seeds again to get them wet (no need to pre-soak them!)
- Place a shallow tray on top, place a 15lb weight inside of that tray, and place the entire tray set onto a shelf to germinate
- NOTE: If you're planting more than one tray of broccoli, you can stack them. We've stacked them up to 8 high, without issues, with a 15lb weight on the very top of the entire stack.
Leave them stacked in germination for 3 days. You do not need to touch them at all during this entire time.
On day 3, remove the weight, unstack them, top water them, and put them into the light. You can start bottom watering them, that day, once per day. Harvest on day 7-14.

So I switched over to these from the Waltham broccoli seeds at true leaf, and these do much better. They grow taller and fuller. It could be my environment or something, but they take a little bit of time for the leaves to really unfurl, but they're beautiful when they do, so I just grow them an extra day or 2 compared to regular and they always come out great and with no mold!!!
