Dwarf Siberian Kale seed grows into Microgreens with dark-green leaves and white stems.

Siberian Kale Seed is excellent for indoor wintertime growing as it can grow in cooler temperatures and lower light than most microgreens.

Kale Microgreens have all the nutritional punch of mature kale but without bitterness. They are mildly sweet. They have thick leaves, giving a crisp mouthfeel and explosion of flavor when chewed.

Kale Microgreens are great to eat fresh, but you can also lightly sautéed them to tame their flavor. They also make a great addition to salads, eggs, sandwiches, and smoothies.

Dwarf Siberian Kale microgreen seed is easy to germinate and grow, with harvest times from 8- to 12 days from planting.

Seeding Density

Seeding Density for Dwarf Siberian Kale Seed

By Weight

Home Microgreens Tray: 3.5 grams

1010 Tray: 9.3 grams

1020 Tray: 18.7 grams

1010 Tray: 2.9 teaspoons

All volumetric measurements are level, not heaping spoons.

I use these vertical-sided measuring spoons because the seeds are easier to level with the straight sides.

These are my recommended seeding densities to produce a great-looking Siberian Kale microgreens tray. 

I like to allow microgreen leaves to develop to a larger size as they provide more nutrition & flavor than producing smaller leaves and stems.

Microgreen density depends on many environmental factors and seed germination percentages.

You may prefer to modify the seeding density, but my seeding densities are a great starting point, if nothing else.
