Micropod Mizuna Growing Guide
Feeding Guidelines: Mizuna is a brassica - offer as part of a balanced rotation with non-brassicas (pea, sunflower, wheatgrass) throughout the week. Ensure your bird's base diet includes quality pellets with iodine. While milder than mustard, still use moderation as part of overall brassica intake.
Bird Serving Guidelines: Offer 1-2 tsp for small birds, 1-2 Tbsp for medium parrots, 2-4 Tbsp for large parrots per serving. Mizuna is a brassica - offer a few times per week and rotate with non-brassicas (pea, sunflower, wheatgrass) for balanced nutrition. Store harvested microgreens dry and unwashed in vented containers with paper towel, rinse just before serving. Remove leftovers after 2 hours.
Family Kitchen Benefits: Mizuna's mild heat makes it perfect for household cooking too - excellent in sushi bowls, sashimi plates, pasta dishes, soups, and pizza garnishes. The tender texture and subtle peppery flavor enhance both bird nutrition and family meals.
