Hamama Hacks: Mix-and-Match Harvests

Hamama Hacks: Mix-and-Match Harvests

Want to mix up your Hamama harvest? Whether you live alone and consume less, can’t agree on what flavor to plant, or just need a little fiesta in your Hamama tray, here’s a Hamama hack for you! It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

STEP 1: CUT THE SEED QUILTS

To grow multiple varieties in one tray simultaneously (or to just grow a smaller amount), just carefully cut the Seed Quilt in quarters or halves between the seed cells. You want to be careful to avoid cutting directly into or close to the seed cells

Ready for some quick math? The 16 cells are best cut the short distance from top to bottom. Here are the fun combos for cutting to mix-and-match:

  • ¼ + ½ + ¼ 
  • ½ + ½ 
  • ¼ + ¾ 

Onto the best part: choosing your winning combinations! Some of our favorite pairings are:

  • Super Salad Mix + Refreshing Cabbage = Purple Salad
  • Hot Wasabi Mustard + Hearty Broccoli = Kickin’ Broccoli 
  • Zesty Mix and Hot Wasabi Mustard = Ultra Zesty
  • Broccoli + Kale + Cabbage = Ultimate Smoothie Blend
  • Radish + Clover = Zippy Soup, Salad & Sandwich Blend

 

STEP 2: SOAK SIMULTANEOUSLY

You’ll want to plant your Seed Quilt pieces at the same time! Why? Great question! The water levels vary throughout the growth cycle as your little greens drink up the water. Also, if you just can’t consume a whole Seed Quilt during each growing cycle, you can always just plant half of one at a time!

 

 

STEP 3: HARVEST & ENJOY

As your Seed Quilts grow, you’ll be able to munch on two, three, or four different flavors all from the same tray! No need to fight over which flavor is up next!

 

EXTRA CREDIT: SAVE EXTRA SEED QUILT FOR NEXT TIME

Once you’ve cut your Seed Quilt, just tuck the other section(s) (and label!) back into the packaging and save for your next batch! Remember, our ungrown Seed Quilts last well over a year, and the best way to store them is in a cool, dark place like your pantry! 🙂 Cool temps & dry air are best (ideal temperature of 50º F at 50 percent humidity)! Mainly, just watch out for heat/humidity/sunlight exposure while storing as that can lessen the seed’s viability.

 

Not up for a cutting challenge yet? We also have a Super Salad Mix and a Zesty Mix that include a variety of different seeds in one Seed Quilt! The Super Salad Mix is broccoli, kale, arugula, kohlrabi, cauliflower, and cabbage. The Zesty Mix is the same but with mustard instead of cauliflower!
