Beetroot microgreens are young, nutrient-packed seedlings of beetroot (Beta vulgaris). They’re easy to grow at home and extremely versatile in your diet.

🪴 How to Plant Beetroot Microgreen Seeds

Materials Needed:

• Beetroot microgreen seeds
• Shallow tray with drainage holes
• Seed-starting soil or coco coir
• Spray bottle for watering
• Light source (sunny window or grow light)

Steps:

1. Prepare the tray
   • Fill a shallow tray (1–2 inches deep) with seed-starting soil or coco coir.
   • Smooth the surface gently.
2. Soak the seeds (optional)
   • Soak seeds for 4–6 hours to speed up germination. Not strictly necessary, but can improve sprouting rate.
3. Sow the seeds
   • Sprinkle seeds evenly over the soil surface.
   • Lightly press them into the soil (do not cover too deep; a thin layer of soil or just press to touch is enough).
4. Water gently
   • Mist with a spray bottle to moisten without washing seeds away.
5. Provide light and warmth
   • Keep in a bright area (sunny window or under grow lights 12–16 hours/day).
   • Maintain soil moisture by misting 1–2 times a day.
6. Germination and growth
   • Seeds usually germinate in 3–5 days.
   • Microgreens are ready to harvest in 7–14 days, when they have 2–3 true leaves.
7. Harvest
   • Use scissors to cut microgreens just above the soil line.
   • Rinse lightly and use fresh.
