Preparation Notes

• Drying: Ensure microgreens are fully dried (e.g., using a dehydrator at 40-50°C) to avoid mold, especially in the Kalahari’s variable humidity.

• Storage: Keep dried microgreens in airtight containers to maintain potency.

• Scaling: Double or triple quantities for larger batches, adjusting steeping or blending times as needed.
