"Salad Burnet grows from the inside out, because of this, the oldest stems are on the outside. Once you start harvesting, make sure to harvest only the outer stems." — Our mate the gardener
Salad Burnet tastes great mixed with Greek yoghurt for a tzatziki. Crushed with a mortar and pestle and some lemon peel, it will also taste well when added to fresh water.
Your indoor garden supplies all ingredients for a beautiful harvest: water, light and nutrients. In the case of a pod that doesn't sprout (which can happen as we work with natural materials), we will send you a new pod free of charge. Take a look at our FAQ.

The pod
Thanks to our patented Float® design, you only have one thing to do: add water once every two or three weeks when the floater sinks. The plant takes all mineral salts it needs out of the water (these are released into the water over the weeks). Discover the Prêt à Pousser technology.
Yes, that's normal. The leaves of your Salad Burnet don't have a strong smell. Try to delicately rub them between your fingers, this will release the smell.
Use your Salad Burnet fresh! You can't really keep it fresh long and cooked is not the best option, either. The best would be in a salad or other cold dish.
Yes, you can repot it, but make sure she won't suffer from culture shock: repot your plant but leave it under the same conditions (enough water, good lighting and a nice temperature).
