Beetroot seeds are light coloured, rough textured seeds. They produce bright red sprouts which have a mild earthy taste, wonderful colour, and grow into beautiful lime green microgreens with deep red veins. Add to salads, sandwiches, as a garnish or enjoy on their own.
One of the favourite sprouts in health circles, beetroot seeds are reported to increase oxygen uptake at the cellular level, reduce blood pressure and protect the cardiovascular system.
Sizes: 50g, 300g or 1kg (Vac Pack).
Germination: 6-8 days depending on growing conditions
Tips: Make sure your soaking water is slightly warm, or at the very least kept at room temperature (especially if weather conditions are cold) as cold water may shock the seeds. Ensure your rinsing water is also not too cold as cold water may slow down the germination process. We recommend keeping the seeds in a warm place while they sprout too. And don't harvest too soon: they can take anywhere from 6 to 12 days.
