Microgreen seed, is germinating seeds which differs from ordinary garden seeds. These seeds are specially designed to be grown in your kitchen in sprouting trays without the use of soil, or with just coconut fiber. A unique feature of sprouted seeds is that they can be enjoyed as sprouts in cooking, which is not the case for all types of seeds.

To ensure quality, our sprouting seeds go through a series of tests, including germination with a minimum requirement of 95%. The manufacturers also perform bacterial test for Salmonella, Listeria and E. Coli to ensure food safety. Each consignment of germinating seeds is supplied with one batch number, which makes it possible to trace the seeds all the way from the farmer's field to your table.

This control is imposed by EU Food Authority to ensure your safety and give you the best possible experience with your home-grown greens.

You can find certified seeds for sprouts and microgreens at PlanteLys.dk, which is a certified importer and dealer of these seeds. We buy the seeds from EU-certified producers in Europe.

The certification means that we comply The Danish Food Agency's requirements for organic foods. You can visit the Danish Food and Food Administration's website to see if a company is approved to import and supply sprouted seeds.

When you choose good sprouting seeds, they should have a pleasant smell and look healthy when you open the seed bag. The seed bag must also show the batch number for the seeds. In addition, the bag must state that the seeds are organic or conventional.

No, it is strongly advised against using garden seeds to make microgreens or sprouts. The garden seeds you can buy in the shops are often stained, these are substances that certain garden seed manufacturers treat the seeds with during the drying process. The purpose of pickling is to protect the seeds from bacteria and fungi during storage and in the early stages of the seed's growth in the soil.

Certified sprout seeds for indoor microgreens and sprout cultivation in your kitchen are never pickled. This is because the stain is toxic to humans. Pickled garden seeds can grow fine in your sprouting tray, but if you eat sprouts from pickled seeds, you may experience stomach problems and diarrhea. If you have ingested sprouts from pickled garden seeds and experience stomach problems, you should seek immediate medical attention.

It is therefore important to avoid the use of stained seeds for sprouting. The safe solution is to use certified, organic sprout seeds for your sprouts and microgreens. That way, you are always on the safe side in your choice of sprouting seeds.

Growing microgreens is easy, all you need is a sprouting tray, organic seeds and coconut mulch and you're good to go.
