Microgreen Seeds in Pakistan
Shop microgreen seeds for growing tender edible greens in shallow trays at home.
Microgreens are young vegetable, herb, legume or grain seedlings grown under light and harvested above the roots before the plants reach full size.
The collection includes quick-growing brassicas, aromatic herbs, colourful varieties, larger shoots and wheatgrass. Choose according to flavour, texture, seed size and growing speed, as different seeds do not require the same preparation or tray conditions.
Choose Microgreens by Flavour and Texture
Microgreens can add fresh flavour, texture and colour to salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups, omelettes and garnishing.
Peppery and Spicy
Choose Radish, Mustard or Mizuna Microgreen Seeds for a sharper flavour.
Radish produces vigorous young greens with a peppery taste. Mustard, also known locally as sarson, provides a noticeable mustard-like bite. Mizuna has a lighter mustard character for shoppers who want some sharpness without choosing the strongest option.
Mild and Leafy
Choose Lettuce, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Turnip or Spinach Microgreen Seeds for milder young leaves.
These varieties suit dishes where fresh leafy texture is preferred without the stronger flavour of radish, mustard or onion.
Beetroot Microgreens add coloured stems and visual contrast to salads, sandwiches and plated dishes.
Aromatic and Savoury
Choose Coriander, Fenugreek, Fennel or Onion Microgreen Seeds for more distinctive aromas.
Coriander provides a familiar dhania flavour, fenugreek brings a methi-like character, fennel has an anise-like note and onion adds savoury sharpness.
Crisp and Substantial
Pea, Sunflower and Green Lentil Microgreens produce larger shoots than small-seeded leafy varieties.
Pea shoots have a fresh pea flavour, sunflower develops thick stems and broad leaves, while green lentil produces tender legume shoots. Choose these when texture and volume matter alongside flavour.
Choose by Growing Speed
Microgreens do not all germinate or reach harvest at the same rate.
Radish, mustard, mizuna, cabbage and turnip are generally among the quicker options and are useful starting choices for first-time growers.
Peas, sunflower, lettuce and cauliflower usually need a little more time but remain manageable for home tray growing.
Coriander, fennel, onion, carrot and beetroot generally require more patience and steady moisture control.
Grow one variety per tray, or combine only seeds with similar germination and harvest speeds. Mixing quick radish with slower coriander can produce an uneven tray that is difficult to harvest at one stage.
Exact timing varies with the variety, temperature, light, moisture and the size at which the greens are harvested.
Soaking and Direct Sowing
Seed size affects preparation and sowing density.
Usually Sown Directly
Small seeds such as radish, mustard, mizuna, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce and turnip are generally spread directly over a moist growing surface.
Commonly Soaked
Larger seeds such as peas and sunflower commonly benefit from soaking before sowing. Wheatgrass and green lentils may also require pre-soaking according to their product instructions.
Other varieties can have different preparation needs, so follow the directions provided with the selected seed. Avoid excessive soaking, which can contribute to poor germination or decay.
Wheatgrass Seeds
Wheatgrass produces tall, narrow blades rather than small leafy shoots.
It is commonly grown densely in trays and cut for fresh wheatgrass juice or blending. Choose Wheatgrass Seeds when grass-like blades are the intended harvest rather than salad-style microgreens.
Choosing a Tray and Growing Microgreens
A basic home setup includes:
- Microgreen seeds
- A shallow growing tray
- A clean growing medium or suitable growing mat
- A spray bottle or gentle watering method
- Good natural light or a grow light
- Clean scissors for harvesting
A tray with drainage makes moisture easier to manage. A second tray without holes can be placed underneath for bottom watering where appropriate.
Small-seeded varieties can be grown in a shallow layer of clean medium or on a suitable growing mat. Larger seeds such as peas, sunflower, lentils and wheatgrass need firm contact with moisture and enough support for their developing roots.
Not every variety performs equally well on bare mesh. Check the seed and tray instructions before choosing a medium-free growing method.
Spread the seeds evenly over a clean, moist growing surface. Sow densely enough for a full tray, but avoid thick piles that restrict airflow.
Keep the surface evenly moist during germination without leaving standing water. Once the seedlings emerge, provide good light and ventilation.
Harvest above the growing surface with clean scissors when the leaves have opened and reached the size you prefer.
Most varieties are grown for one main harvest. Pea shoots may produce limited regrowth, although a second harvest may be less full or even.
Moji Mall also carries reusable microgreen and hydroponic trays for customers who need a growing container.
Clean Growing Basics
Microgreens are often eaten raw, so cleanliness is important.
Use clean trays, drinking-quality water and fresh growing media. Avoid overcrowding, standing water and poor airflow.
Wash your hands and tools before handling or harvesting the greens, and cut the stems above the growing surface with clean scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose microgreen seeds?
Choose according to your preferred flavour, texture and growing speed. Radish and mustard are quick and peppery, leafy varieties are milder, coriander and fenugreek are aromatic, while peas and sunflower produce larger shoots.
Which microgreens are easiest for beginners?
Radish, mustard, mizuna, cabbage and turnip are useful starting options because they generally establish quickly and are easy to monitor.
Do all microgreen seeds need soaking?
No. Small seeds such as radish, mustard, mizuna and cabbage are normally sown directly. Larger seeds such as peas and sunflower commonly benefit from soaking before sowing.
What is the difference between microgreens and sprouts?
Microgreens are grown under light and harvested by cutting the stems above the roots. Sprouts are germinated in very moist conditions and are usually eaten with the seed and root attached.
Can microgreens be grown without soil?
Some varieties can be grown on clean growing mats or other soil-free media. The setup must retain moisture while allowing drainage, airflow and enough support for the roots. Not every variety is equally suitable for bare-mesh growing.
Are all microgreens ready within seven days?
No. Radish and mustard can grow quickly, but coriander, fennel, onion, carrot and beetroot generally need more time. Harvest speed also varies with temperature, light, moisture and the desired size.
