Micropod Mustard Growing Guide
Important Feeding Guidelines: Mustard microgreens contain natural compounds that require careful use. Offer 2-3 times per week only as part of vegetable rotation. Start with very small amounts to test acceptance. As a brassica, rotate with non-brassicas (pea, sunflower, wheatgrass) and ensure your bird's base diet includes quality pellets with iodine. Not recommended as a primary vegetable source, especially for budgies with thyroid sensitivities.
Bird Serving Guidelines: Start with very small amounts - half the normal portions initially. Small birds: 1/2 tsp, medium parrots: 1/2 Tbsp, large parrots: 1 Tbsp per serving. Offer only 2-3 times per week as part of brassica rotation. Store harvested microgreens dry and unwashed in vented containers with paper towel, rinse just before serving. Remove leftovers after 2 hours due to spice content.

The Micropod Mustard Seed Kit offers experienced bird owners and families a way to explore bold flavors while maintaining responsible bird nutrition practices. These distinctive microgreens provide concentrated flavor and nutrition that, when used appropriately within a balanced rotation, can enhance both bird enrichment and family culinary adventures. The key is understanding that mustard microgreens are a specialty variety meant for careful, controlled use rather than everyday feeding - much like how you might use hot sauce or strong spices in your own cooking.

Why Choose Microgreens For Your Birds

Homegrown microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that support feather health, digestion, and energy. Grown fresh in your own kitchen, they add colour, crunch, and hydration to daily chop while encouraging natural foraging. With soft stems and leaves that even small birds accept, Micropod makes it simple to rotate fresh greens through the week for balance and variety.

Clean, Soil-Free Growing

Micropod uses natural grow mats instead of soil, keeping benches, windowsills, and cage areas neat. No dirt, no mess, just clean, fresh greens ready for your bird’s diet.

Fast and Reliable Harvests

Seeds germinate quickly and are ready to snip in 8–14 days. A simple cycle of sow, water, and harvest keeps your bird supplied with fresh greens.

Nutritious and Bird-Friendly

Tender stems and leaves are easy for birds to accept, from budgies through to cockatoos. They bring natural texture and hydration to chop while supporting overall health.

Compact and Easy to Grow

With its small footprint, Micropod fits on a sunny sill or kitchen bench. No special lights or equipment required, just water and natural light.
