All about your Beet Microgreen! You benefit from soaking the seeds before planting. It’s not a necessity, but it can speed up the germination. Place them in water for at least 5 hours (you can leave them up to 24 hours) before you sprinkle them on top of your growing medium. Place a layer of soil or coconut coir in your container of choice and spread the seeds evenly across the tray. Complete the planting by adding another thin layer of soil/coconut coir on top of the seeds. It will support germination. After a while, the beets will start to break through the top layer of soil. When you put this layer of soil on top, it also encourages the seeds to lose the shells. The beet requires a longer time than the average microgreen to mature. You will need some patience before you see them start to show off their beautiful stems and leaves. Cover them and put the tray in a dark place (blackout period) for about five days. During this time they will germinate. Microgreens need water to grow, so remember to give your seeds a good mist twice a day. A good reference is to check in on them once in the morning and once in the evening. When the stems have reached a height of about an inch, you can remove the cover and bring them out in the light. After a total growth time of about two weeks, the beet microgreens are ready to be harvested!
