Removing Swiss Chard & Beet Seed Husks Without Soaking Microgreens Podcast

    • Home & Garden

Swiss chard and beet microgreens are beautiful and tasty! They may take a bit longer to grow than other microgreens, but worth the wait.
Except for those nasty, ugly, hard, bark-like seed husks.
If you've ever bitten into one of these seed husks, you'll never forget it.
Grown conventionally, it's almost impossible to have husk-free microgreens.
Worst, when you go to pick them off the microgreens, the husks usually take most of the leaf with it.
At first, we tried soaking the seeds before planting, hoping that they would soften and come off as they grew.
That wasn't the case, however.
Finally, we found a way to remove almost all of the husks.
In this podcast, we explain how we accomplished this task.
