Shoot Seeds

Shoots sit between sprouts and microgreens. They're grown in trays for a week or two and cut once the stems are tall and the first leaves open. Buckwheat shoots are crisp and lemony. Nasturtium shoots, including Empress of India, have a peppery bite, and melon and Armenian cucumber shoots taste fresh and green. Choices include about 16 options, several of them organic. Soak large seeds overnight before sowing for faster, more even germination.
