Organic Chinese Mahogany
Compared to most other varieties, Chinese Mahogany seeds—botanical name Toona sinensis—require a little more time and care to fully develop your microgreens, but the result will be worth the wait. Its small, oval leaves are characterized by a bright green color and a very smooth surface. They immediately release an intense garlicky aroma and flavor, with a bitter and slightly spicy aftertaste.
How can I grow it?
Producing organic Chinese Mahogany microgreens is quick and easy, even at home.
This variety typically germinates abundantly but unevenly. For best results, we recommend starting with a pre-soak in cold water for 4-6 hours.
After draining and gently drying the seeds, you can plant them (in soil or, if you prefer, in a hemp substrate) and keep them covered and in the dark until the first shoots appear, misting them with water when necessary. This step could take up to ten days.
At this point, you can uncover and move your seedlings into the sunlight, continuing to water little and often.
After about 20 days from sowing, your organic Chinese Mahogany microgreens will be ready to enrich your dishes with flavor and aroma.
How can I eat it?
Toona's organic microgreens have a bold, pungent flavor reminiscent of garlic. Even a few leaves will be enough to flavor your dishes. Use them as a lively, fresh addition to salads and burgers, or as an exotic accompaniment to your meat dishes.
Organic Chinese Mahogany seeds may contain traces of soy, mustard, wheat, gluten and grasses.
Store the seeds in a cool, ventilated place, with a temperature between 8° and 20° C, protected from atmospheric agents, changes in humidity and sunlight.
