Beet Sprouts Seeds

Beet sprouts are grown as much for their colour as their taste: deep magenta stems, green leaves and a mild, earthy sweetness. They germinate in four to six days and are ready in eight to twelve, a little slower than most but worth the wait.

Beet seed has a tough coat, so give it a long soak before sowing and keep the tray evenly moist. Each seed cluster can carry more than one shoot, so expect a full tray from a modest sowing.
