Why Seed Cube Stocks This for Bird Care:

  • Balanced Flavor Variety: Combines mild, sweet red cabbage with gentle peppery mizuna to provide sensory enrichment and prevent dietary monotony while ensuring broad acceptance across different bird preferences.
  • Concentrated Antioxidant Power: Red cabbage delivers anthocyanins (purple pigments) while mizuna provides carotenoids, creating a powerhouse combination that supports immune function and overall bird health.
  • Visual Appeal and Nutrition: Vibrant purple-veined red cabbage paired with delicate green mizuna creates colorful, appetizing chop that encourages natural foraging behaviors and eating interest.
  • Optimal Brassica Rotation: Two complementary brassica varieties in one convenient package allow for flavor rotation within the same plant family while maintaining consistent nutritional benefits.
  • Texture Diversity: Different leaf structures and stem characteristics provide varied mouthfeel experiences that enhance chop appeal and encourage natural food exploration.

Key Features:

  • Six Complete Growing Cycles: Each kit provides six sowings with perfectly balanced variety - alternate between red cabbage and mizuna for continuous flavor diversity.
  • Curated Flavor Balance: Expertly paired varieties complement each other in taste, nutrition, and visual appeal for optimal bird and family enjoyment.
  • Premium Seed Quality: Both varieties feature untreated, non-GMO seeds with approximately 1,000 seeds per packet ensuring abundant, safe harvests.
  • 100% Sustainable Growing: Plant-based jute mats compost completely, supporting environmentally responsible growing practices with zero waste.
  • Fast 8-12 Day Harvest: Quick growing cycle ensures fresh variety is always available, with timing consistent across both microgreen types.
  • Family-Friendly Varieties: Both microgreens excel in culinary applications, making this mix perfect for households wanting shared nutrition benefits.
Micropod Vital Greens Growing Guide
Feeding Guidelines: Vital Greens is a brassica mix - offer 2-3 times per week and rotate with non-brassicas (pea, sunflower, wheatgrass) throughout the week. Ensure your bird's base diet includes quality pellets with iodine for optimal thyroid support. Alternate between varieties for maximum flavor and nutrition diversity.
Bird Serving Guidelines: Offer 1-2 tsp for small birds, 1-2 Tbsp for medium parrots, 2-4 Tbsp for large parrots per serving. Use both varieties in rotation - red cabbage one day, mizuna the next - to provide maximum flavor diversity. Store harvested microgreens dry and unwashed in vented containers with paper towel, rinse just before serving. Remove leftovers after 2 hours. Note: Red cabbage pigments may temporarily tint droppings purple - this is harmless.
