About 7 days. Grow amazingly sweet and delicious corn shoots. Amazing taste and stunning yellow shoots make this a uniquely delightful microgreen to grow.
Sweet corn microgreen shoots are easy to grow and will grow well on soil or a hydroponic grow mat, but we prefer soil for this amazing micro. There are a few key differences with the growing technique of this micro from most other micros. With corn shoots you must harvest at around 7 days. If grown longer than that they begin to develop their leaves which are very fibrous and not good to eat.
*** Grow yellow popcorn microgreen shoots in the dark the entire time. Exposure to light will cause them to turn green and develop fibers. The flavor also changes considerably. Try a cabinet or bin of some kind to keep out the light ***
For more detailed instructions on growing, as well as some troubleshooting and tips, please visit our Soil Growing Directions page or our Hydroponic Growing Directions page
Corn shoots are incredibly sweet and make a great garnish for salads or other dishes in which you want a sweet flavor. The flavor is so intensely sweet it has to be experienced to be understood.
