Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Purple Kale different from regular green kale microgreens?
A: Purple Kale has a higher anthocyanin content — the antioxidant pigment responsible for the purple colour. This gives it additional anti-inflammatory and heart-protective benefits beyond what green kale offers.

Q: How many trays can I grow from 40g?
A: Approximately 4 trays of 10×10 inches.

Q: Is Purple Kale beginner-friendly?
A: It's best suited to growers who have completed one or two successful grows. Kale takes slightly longer than fast-growing varieties like radish or mustard, but is very forgiving once the blackout stage is done correctly.

Q: Can I grow Purple Kale in Delhi summers?
A: We recommend growing kale between October and March in Delhi when temperatures are below 28°C. In summer, grow in an air-conditioned room and harvest on Day 9–10 before heat stress sets in.
