Hello Darkness, My Microgreens' friend: Embracing the Dark for Bigger, Sweeter Shoots

Dr. Russell Sharp explains why deliberately growing microgreens in darkness produces taller, sweeter, and easier-to-harvest seedlings. He shares observations from trials with basil, mustard, pea shoots, spring onions and more, and explains how etiolated growth converts seed starches into sugars for better flavour.

The episode also covers practical tips and trade-offs for small-scale production.
