    I use the same green trays for my microgreens. I grew alfalfa sprouts for myself and barley sprouts for my chickens. I used the bottom trays that came with the tops and never had a problem with mold. I stacked them on top of each other in the beginning, criss cross wise and when it was time to take them out I would just run my fingers back and forth through the roots and pull the sprouts right out of the top. The chickens loved them. This was a good reminder to start doing them again.

    Those seed sticking to cotyledons are called helmet head, though I grow mainly pepper, they are common on irregular/ old/ very dry seed coat. Most of the time when there is soil, the seed remains in the soil while the stalk grow up and cotyledons uses the soil to anchor the seed and push the leaves out. If that doesn't happen, the seed coat gets push out of soil and dry in the air, we use water to wet the seed coat for the cotyledon to have easier time getting rid of the seed coat but it doesn't necessarily succeed. The cotyledons as you have mentioned gets mushy if too long.

    I often wondered about this. Can this technique used for other types of microgreens or just this one? If you're using this technique large scale there is something called adiabatic cooling which is nothing more than fine mist spray nozzles they use to precool air used to cool condensers that would probably do a great job automatically misting your tray roots. Great job on this video.

    Thanks for sharing. I used to do this for cat grass, so I knew it was possible. I’d be cooking up the peas and roots after. Still should be lots of valuable nutrition there. Sprouted legumes and seeds and grains are supposed to be the best for bioavailability/digestibility of nutrients. Without at least soaking and sprouting or cooking they have varying anti-nutrients that are hard to digest/assimilate. (Or proper fermentation).

      No, top off when they are a few inches tall.

    Love your channel, recently discovered you and have learned so much already. I grow my microgreens but don't use any lights other than sunlight coming in through my window. I do notice my microgreens are literally "microgreens" with tiny leaves compared to your "baby greens". Do you think this is due to me just using indirect sunlight from a southern exposure window? Do I need to purchase LEDs/Fluorescents lighting for them to grow more? I also do not fertilize them, but have now ordered your recommended fertilizer, and just ordered your eBook on Etsy, thank you it is very helpful. Thank you and peace be with you :)

      Thank you. Yes, any extra light helps. You can make due without but when you can afford it, start with a cheap light. Practice and work your way up as you learn.

    Can you shave off the roots and cook the peas, or has the nutrition been used up?
    I know you can soaking peas ahead of cooking to sprout. It says this can provide several health benefits, primarily by increasing their nutrient availability due to reduced levels of anti-nutrients like phytic acid, making them easier to digest and absorb minerals like iron and zinc; however, potential side effects include potential bacterial growth if not handled properly, and some people might experience digestive discomfort from the increased fiber content.
    Health benefits of sprouting peas:
    Improved digestion:
    The sprouting process increases fiber content, which aids digestion and promotes regular bowel movements.
    Enhanced nutrient absorption:
    Soaking and sprouting reduces the amount of phytic acid, allowing for better absorption of minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium.
    Higher protein content:
    Sprouted peas may have a slightly higher protein content compared to unsprouted peas.
    Rich in vitamins and antioxidants:
    Sprouting can boost levels of certain vitamins like vitamin C and antioxidants, potentially offering additional health benefits.
    Potential side effects of eating sprouted peas:
    Bacterial contamination:
    If not handled properly, sprouts can harbor bacteria like salmonella, so proper hygiene and sourcing from reliable sources are crucial.
    Digestive discomfort:
    The increased fiber content in sprouts can cause bloating, gas, and stomach cramps in some individuals, especially if consumed in large quantities.
    Allergies:
    Some people may be allergic to certain types of legumes, including peas, and should consult a healthcare professional before consuming sprouted peas.
    Important considerations when sprouting peas:
    Choose high-quality peas: Opt for organic, untreated peas to minimize potential pesticide residues.
    Proper soaking and rinsing: Follow recommended soaking times and thoroughly rinse the peas before sprouting to remove excess starch and potential bacteria.
    Monitor sprouting conditions: Maintain a clean and controlled environment to prevent bacterial growth.
    Consume fresh sprouts: Eat sprouted peas promptly after sprouting to ensure optimal freshness and nutrient content.
    I dislike waste, but I guess I could compost the spent peas.

    QUESTION? If you compost the roots, will it make soil? Are the roots and seed husks not nutritious..could we put them in our homemade dogfood..

    Do you have any tips on making cleaning the trays easier? The roots like to get stuck and I hate dealing with it almost as much as I love the microgreens, so I don't sprout them as much as I would otherwise.

    I am a newbie. Those microwave plates with holes must be commercially available. Same with the peas. Still unclear about how much time should elapse between states of growth. Also, do you just use plain tap water? About how warm should they be whilst growing. Thank you for your intriguing video!

    • @KeepOnGrowin

      Yes, just tap water. Keep in a room that is comfortable to you.

    Organic soil is the healthiest medium to grow in. Millions of microorganisms that make nutrients available to plants and inturn to us. It's not conducive to mass production though.
