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.
