How to Grow
- Pre-soak beetroot seeds for 6–8 hours before sowing to soften the seed coat
- Spread on pre-moistened cocopeat after draining — one layer deep
- Cover in blackout for 4–5 days; beetroot germinates more slowly than radish
- Harvest at 10–14 days when deep red stems and green cotyledons are fully open
Germination tips for microgreens
- •Pre-soak beetroot seeds for 6–8 hours — the seed coat is thick and soaking improves germination by 20–30%.
- •One beetroot seed is actually a cluster of 2–3 seeds — sow slightly less dense than single seeds.
- •Keep blackout for 4–5 days; beetroot takes longer to establish than radish or mustard.
- •Beetroot microgreens are slower growing — do not harvest before day 10.
- •The vivid red-purple colour in stems deepens with more light exposure.
- •Bottom-water throughout the grow cycle to prevent mold on the thick seed hulls.
- •Rinse thoroughly at harvest — beetroot seed hulls cling to stems and need washing off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do beetroot seeds need soaking before sowing?
Yes, pre-soak beetroot seeds for 6-8 hours before sowing. Beetroot seeds have a thick outer hull that benefits significantly from soaking — it can improve germination rate by 20-30% and speed up sprouting.
How long do beetroot microgreens take to grow?
Beetroot microgreens take 10-14 days to harvest — one of the slower microgreens. Keep in blackout for 4-5 days, then move to bright indirect light. The vivid red-purple stem colour deepens with more light exposure.
What are betalains and why are they good?
Betalains are the red-purple pigments found in beetroot. They are powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, and research shows they may support liver health, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cardiovascular cells. Beetroot microgreens concentrate betalains compared to mature beetroot.
Can I use beetroot microgreens in smoothies?
Yes. Beetroot microgreens blend well in smoothies and juices — their earthy-sweet flavour pairs with apple, ginger, and carrot. They are also excellent sprinkled raw over salads, grain bowls, and hummus for colour and a natural nitrate boost.
