Fenugreek: Microgreens Seeds

Fenugreek microgreens — known for their distinct bitter-spicy flavor and digestive benefits — are fast-growing baby greens harvested just 7–10 days after sowing. These soft, broad-leaved greens add a gentle methi aroma to your dishes and are commonly used in salads, lentils, parathas, or post-meal detox teas.

They grow best in shallow trays with moist cocopeat or compost, and unlike full-grown methi plants, they don’t need deep soil or sunlight. Easy to harvest and ideal for small kitchens, balconies, or rooftop ledges, fenugreek microgreens are a staple for anyone seeking fresh, homegrown taste with traditional wellness value.

Growing Fenugreek Microgreens

Tray Setup

• Use a shallow tray (1.5–2 inches deep) with drainage holes
• Fill with moist cocopeat or compost blend, and level the surface gently

Soak & Sow

• Soak methi seeds in water for 6–8 hours
• Scatter them evenly — no need to bury
• Mist the tray well and cover for 1–2 days to boost germination

Light & Moisture

• After sprouting, place the tray in filtered sunlight or bright indirect light
• Mist once or twice daily — keep moist, not soggy
• Avoid direct sun during hot afternoons

Harvest

• Snip when the greens are 2–3 inches tall — typically by day 7–10
• Use fresh in cooking or dry for later use

Pair with Cocopeat for mess-free growing or enrich with Vermicompost for stronger growth.

FAQs – Fenugreek Microgreens

How is this different from regular methi?
These are harvested young — no full leaves or roots. They taste milder and grow faster.

Can I regrow from the same tray?
No — microgreens are cut once. Compost the remains and sow fresh.

Is the bitter taste strong?
It’s milder than mature methi and gets softer when lightly cooked or steamed.

Can I grow these without sunlight?
Yes — just place the tray near a window or under a grow light.

Are these safe for daily use?
Yes — in small amounts, they help with digestion and can be used regularly in meals or herbal drinks.
