What is a Microherb?
Amicroherb is a term used to describe young, tender herb plants that are harvested early in their growth cycle, typically when they are still small and immature. These herbs are similar in concept tomicrogreens—small, edible plants harvested just after the first true leaves (cotyledons) have developed, but specifically, microherbs are herbs rather than leafy vegetables.
Microherbs are often more concentrated in flavour than their mature counterparts and are prized for their intense taste, vibrant colours, and delicate texture. They are used as garnishes, in salads, or added to dishes for a burst of flavour.

Microherb Windowsill Kit Instructions:
- Empty the coir mix into a large bowl and add 325ml of warm water.
- Leave to rehydrate for several hours or overnight.
- When all the water is absorbed, mix the coir so the water is evenly distributed and transfer to the porcelain windowsill box.
- Gently press the seeds down into the coir mix so they are partly covered.
- Cover with the lid and place in a quiet spot away from direct sunlight.
- Keep moist but not wet by misting daily using a plant mister.
- When leaves start to appear, remove the lid and place underneath as a drip tray.
- Move to a windowsill which ideally receives indirect sunlight for most of the day.
- Harvest 1-2 days after leaves appear.
- Once the microherbs have been harvested, new microgreen seeds need to be resown in new coir available here or using a growing mat.
