They grow as a dense carpet of thin, upright green threads, many of them still wearing the tiny black seed coat on top. The flavour is unmistakably onion, yet softer and sweeter than a raw bulb, somewhere between chives and a young spring onion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an allium they are quick: 5–6 days to germinate and only 4–5 more in the light, so the whole cycle takes 9–11 days. Seeds are sown dry, without soaking, and generously — 12 g per 11×18 cm container — because the fine shoots stand best shoulder to shoulder. A light weight during germination keeps the stand even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir best trick is the root. Grown on a linen mat or fabric, onion microgreens form a clean, white root pad that lifts out in one piece. Harvested with roots, the greens keep fresh longer than cut herbs — handy for home meal prep, and a favourite format of small growers who sell at markets or to restaurants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv
