Microgreens is a diversified fresh and nutritious vegetable product with a relatively short harvest time. Microgreens are healthy vegetables, and organic and easily cultivated. Coconut water waste can be used as nutrition for your microgreens ( Brassica Oleraceae ). This study aims to determine fresh weight, water quality, chlorophyll content, fiber, and ascorbic acid microgreens of kailan plants ( Brassica oleraceae ) by providing coconut water as a nutrient. The research was conducted at the Green House, the Faculty of Agriculture Laboratory, and the Food Processing Technology Laboratory of the UPN “Veteran” East Java. The topic being tested is about the concentration and intervals of giving coconut water as a microgreen nutrient. Fresh weight parameters were measured by scales, total chlorophyll analysis using spectrophotometry method, fiber analysis by enzymatic method, and ascorbic acid analysis using DCPIP method. Data were analyzed using a Completely Randomized Design. The best microgreen weight in the treatment of coconut water with a concentration of 25% and watered three times a day. Fresh weight of 5.92gr / 100 microgreens, chlorophyll content of 0.34 mg / gr, fiber content of 4.67% and 4.orb% ascorbic acid content.
