Beet Microgreens

Microgreen

Beta vulgaris

Overview
Beet microgreens are delicate seedlings featuring vibrant deep red or burgundy stems with small green cotyledon leaves, typically ready to harvest in 10-14 days of growth. These tender shoots offer a distinctive sweet and earthy flavor with mild beetroot notes, making them an excellent nutritional addition to salads, smoothie bowls, and plated dishes.
