Unlike fast crops such as broccoli or radish, Lemon Balm develops slowly, rewarding patient growers with a highly aromatic microgreen that offers something quite different in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe small seeds germinate gradually and the crop becomes increasingly fragrant as its first textured true leaves develop. Allow approximately \u003cstrong\u003e24–30 days from sowing to harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, depending on temperature, light and preferred harvest stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFresh Lemon Flavour \u0026amp; Aromatic True Leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLemon Balm microgreens have a noticeable lemon-citrus flavour with mild herbal sweetness and subtle mint-like notes. Their refreshing flavour and delicate texture make them particularly useful where stronger peppery microgreens could overpower a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse freshly harvested Lemon Balm microgreens with fruit, desserts, yoghurt and salads, or as a fresh garnish for cakes, drinks and plated desserts. They can also add a fresh citrus note to dressings, sauces and savoury dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Slow-Growing Specialty Micro Herb\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLemon Balm seed is small and should be spread evenly over a fine, consistently moist growing medium. No pre-soaking is required. The seed should remain at or very close to the surface because access to light helps support germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA fine medium such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium\"\u003eCoco Fibre Growing Medium\u003c\/a\u003e works well for the small seed. Maintain steady surface moisture during germination, then switch to bottom watering once the roots are sufficiently established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLight During Germination\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many fast microgreens that are placed beneath an opaque blackout cover, Lemon Balm benefits from light during germination. A clear humidity dome can be useful for slowing surface drying while still allowing light to reach the seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce established, provide bright light and good airflow. Allowing the first small, textured true leaves to develop produces the characteristic Lemon Balm appearance and stronger citrus aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrow Lemon Balm Beyond the Microgreen Stage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same seed can also be grown into mature \u003cstrong\u003eLemon Balm herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e. At wider spacing, the plants develop into bushy perennial herbs with aromatic green foliage that can be harvested repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor mature herb production rather than dense microgreen trays, see our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/lemon-balm-herb-seeds\"\u003eLemon Balm Herb Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e growing information.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozsprout","offers":[{"title":"1g","offer_id":42801889968371,"sku":"LEMONBALMSEEDS-1G","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20g","offer_id":42801890001139,"sku":"LEMONBALMSEEDS-20G","price":25.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":42801890033907,"sku":"LEMONBALMSEEDS-50G","price":55.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":42801890066675,"sku":"LEMONBALMSEEDS-100G","price":99.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":42801890099443,"sku":"LEMONBALMSEEDS-250G","price":185.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500g","offer_id":42801890132211,"sku":"LEMONBALMSEEDS-500G","price":339.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1446\/5779\/files\/lemon-balm-microgreen-seeds.webp?v=1759256060","url":"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/lemon-balm-microgreen-seeds","provider":"OzSprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
