Planting Baby Kale

PLANTING BABY KALE

Grow baby kale greens to use in a kale salad, veggie wrap, or our African style greens recipe!

Supplies

Kale seeds

Recycled microgreens tray or another small container

Potting soil

Watering bottle

Paper towel

Directions

  1. Prepare your soil: You can reuse your microgreens tray by removing the roots, or start with fresh soil!

  2. Spread your kale seeds on top of the soil. Use about 1 teaspoon of seeds.

  3. Moisten gently with watering bottle (a bottle or lid with holes poked in it)

  4. Cover with a damp paper towel.

  5. Once your seeds start sprouting, remove the paper towel because they need light to grow!  

  6. Put the tray in a well-lit area under a window or outdoors and water your kale sprouts every day

  7. In about 4-6 weeks you will have baby kale for salad!  

  8. Harvest your kale and save it in the fridge wrapped in a damp paper towel kept inside a food storage bag.
