We recommend growing micro cilantro in soil. Germination of cilantro microgreens is erratic with some emerging at about a week, and some seeds taking longer, so be patient with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seed itself is actually the dried ripe fruit of the plant, called a shizocarp.  A schizocarp is a dry fruit that splits into single-seeded parts when ripe. \u003cem\u003eCracking can help with germination by releasing the seed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere’s how:  Place seed in a zip-lock bag and roll over it with a rolling pin to release the individual seeds, rinse in a fine mesh strainer and soak overnight for even germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow quite thickly on a bed of lightly compacted soil. Cover with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite (1\/4 inch) and tamp very lightly. Cover in a humidity dome and mist as needed to keep the top layer medium damp. Cilantro micro greens grow slowly and prefer cooler temperatures (under 70 degrees), especially during germination.  Experiment with placing your germinating trays in much cooler areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor more detailed instructions on growing, as well as some troubleshooting and tips, please visit our \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.reamaze.com\/articles\/growing-microgreens-in-soil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eSoil Growing Directions page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the amazing health benefits of cilantro are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates heavy metals from the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful antioxidant that reduces free radicals, which aids in cancer prevention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces anxiety and improves sleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeeds per Package:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz - Approximately 2,000 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 8,000 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 32,000 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 160,000 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Approximately 800,000 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":35361935294626,"sku":"31534","price":5.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35361935327394,"sku":"31533","price":6.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361935360162,"sku":"31531","price":14.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361935392930,"sku":"31532","price":39.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lb","offer_id":35361935425698,"sku":"12065","price":157.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/cilantro-slow-bolt-microgreens-wm_700.jpg?v=1595857050","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/cilantro-slow-bolt-microgreens-seeds","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
