Micro Herbs

[SaladFingers]

We always eat micro herbs in restaurants. At least that's what I think they're called: The look a bit like this, only in a far smaller quantity obviously...

Does anyone know if these can be bought online, or if they're available in a shop in South Cumbria?

Thanks

You can probably buy growing kits online. Try searching for "micro greens".

This article looks useful, also this one. The telegraph article links through to Gregg's Veg who will deliver the actual salads (but I can't see on their website how much you get for your money).

Thanks for those links, they're extremely helpful. I didn't realise how expenisve microleaves were though!

A place called Thompson and Morgan seems to be the most recommended place to find growing kits, which is nice and it only takes a couple of weeks for your greens to grow. This could be interesting.

6 trays and 7 packets of seeds? Seems a strange combination, but I expect each pack does more than one trayful. Also the sprouting kit (2 tier sprouter plus 23 packets of seeds) would keep anyone going for a while.

I also find it surprising looking at the individual packs of 'Living Greens' seeds that they vary in size from 500 seeds (purple radish) to 6000 seeds (rocket victoria). Presumably its the size of seed that matters to the producer, but I expect you'll get a lot more rocket than radish.

You could try asking Rogan & Company where they get theirs from.

I find these greens very, very irritating when I'm trying to eat my lunch.
