The Kermit cabbage is an annual plant with an upright bush growing from 40 to 60 cm in height. The flowers have a diameter of 1.5-2 cm and feature diverse coloration. Seeds are sown in March-April in greenhouses and transplanted into open ground in May. Seedlings appear within 8-11 days at a temperature of 13-17 °C. The plant prefers sunny areas with fertile soil and thrives under such conditions. Kermit cabbage is widely used for cutting, arranging dried bouquets, group plantings, as well as decorating flower beds and rabatok.
Moreover, Kermit belongs to green mitsuna microgreens — young sprouts with cotyledons and 1-3 real green leaves. Microgreens have a mild mustard flavor and high content of biologically active substances and vitamins, making them a beneficial addition to meat and fish dishes, salads, and sandwiches. Due to its lacy leaves, it is particularly popular in the restaurant business for garnishing prepared dishes.
Kermit seeds are suitable for growing both in industrial and farm greenhouses and in open ground. They are not treated with chemicals or growth stimulants, which ensures ecological purity and high nutritional value of the microgreens. This makes Kermit a valuable source of useful trace elements and biologically active substances for healthy eating.
