Umuthi Beetroot Sprouting Seeds are light-coloured, rough-textured seeds used to grow striking red sprouts with a mild, earthy taste. As they grow, they develop into beautiful lime green microgreens with deep red veins, making them as visually appealing as they are practical in the kitchen. They are lovely in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and garnishes, or enjoyed on their own for colour and fresh texture. These natural, untreated, non-GMO seeds are vacuum packed to help preserve freshness before sprouting.

♡ Why we love it: Beetroot sprouts bring instant colour to everyday meals. Their earthy flavour and vivid red-green appearance make them a beautiful choice for home sprouters who want something more eye-catching than standard leafy sprouts.

5 out of 200 worked -very disappointing

I have a very professional sprouting device and was very disappointed that only five of the sprouts showed a sign of life

Beetroot

I am very disappointed in the beetroot seeds. They took a long while to show any life and then only 3 sprouted out of about 200 seeds. Alfalfa did well.

Great

I bought this being sooo excited because it's a struggle to get beet greens. I got confused by the instructions on the packaging, so it would be great if you could have a blog post with simplified instructions. I am still looking forward to growing them lol once I figure it out.

I love the service
