Product Highlights

Beetroot microgreens stand out with their ruby red stems and dark green leaves, which add instant colour to salads, sandwiches, soups, wraps and bowls. The taste is mild and slightly earthy, and the texture is tender. They take a little longer to sprout than radish or broccoli, so a short soak before sowing helps speed things up. Grow them in a shallow tray with drainage holes on cocopeat or a growing mat, and keep them in bright light so the stems stay vivid. One pack is enough for several trays, which makes it great value for a home kitchen.
