Coriander Microgreens produce delicate green leaves on slender pale stems. They have a fresh coriander flavour that becomes stronger as the first true leaves appear. Use them in chutneys, raita, chaat, salads, sandwiches, wraps, eggs, rice, dal, curries and other cooked dishes.

Coriander takes longer to germinate than cabbage, radish and mustard microgreens. Gently splitting the round seed covers before sowing can help them absorb water and sprout more evenly.

Why Grow It

Fresh Flavour: Adds a strong coriander taste to food.
Everyday Uses: Suitable for chutneys, raita, chaat, rice, dal and curries.
Tender Greens: The young leaves and soft stems can both be eaten.
Small Space: Grows well in shallow trays and containers.
Indoor Growing: Suitable for windowsills and other bright indoor places.

Best Conditions

Germination: Usually 7–12 days
Harvest: Around 18–25 days
Temperature: Around 18–24°C
Light: Bright, indirect light after germination
Tray: A shallow tray around 1–2 inches deep
Seed soaking: Around 4–8 hours
Growing mix: Coco peat or fine seed starter mix
Seed amount: Enough to form an even layer without piling

Coriander Microgreens are easiest to grow during Pakistan’s cooler months. They can also be grown indoors at other times if the tray is kept in a cool, bright and airy location. High temperatures can make germination slower and less even.

How to Grow

Gently roll the whole round seeds to split some of them without grinding, then soak them for 4–8 hours and drain thoroughly.
Fill a clean shallow tray with 1–1½ inches of moist coco peat or fine seed starter mix.
Spread the seeds evenly, press them gently and cover them with a very thin layer of the mix.
Mist thoroughly and cover the tray for 5–7 days, checking the moisture and airflow daily.
Remove the cover when most seedlings have appeared, then provide bright indirect light and begin watering from below.

Plant Care

Keep the growing mix lightly moist throughout the longer germination period. Do not allow the surface to dry completely, but avoid keeping it constantly soaked.

After removing the cover, provide bright light and gentle airflow. Add water to the lower tray whenever the mix begins drying. Empty any water that remains after the growing mix has absorbed enough moisture.

Extra fertilizer is usually unnecessary during the short growing period.

Local Gardener Tips

Rinse and drain the seeds well after soaking.
Allow extra time because coriander may germinate unevenly.
Do not pull firmly at seed covers attached to tender leaves.
Use the coolest bright indoor place during warm weather.

Harvesting

Harvest when the stems are around 2–4 inches tall and the first small coriander-shaped true leaves begin opening, usually 18–25 days after sowing.

Use clean scissors to cut the stems just above the growing mix. Avoid including roots or coco peat with the harvested greens. Rinse them with clean water, drain well and use while fresh.

FAQs

Why are some seeds sprouting much later than others?

Uneven germination is common with coriander. Whole seed covers, warm conditions and dry patches can delay some seedlings. Gentle splitting, short soaking and steady moisture can improve the result.

Why are round seed covers still attached to the seedlings?

This is normal and they often fall away as the seedlings grow. Mist them lightly and brush away loose covers before harvesting. Avoid pulling firmly because this can tear the leaves.

Can I harvest before the true leaves appear?

Yes, but the small seed leaves have a milder taste. Allowing the first coriander-shaped true leaves to begin opening provides a stronger coriander flavour.
