Beetroot Microgreen Seeds
Grow Stunning Pink-Stemmed Beetroot Microgreens at Home 🌱
Beetroot microgreens are one of the most visually striking greens you can grow — deep red and pink stems with a mild, earthy sweetness. Packed with betalains (the same powerful antioxidants in mature beetroot), these microgreens are as beautiful on the plate as they are good for your body.
100g grows approximately 4 trays. 300g is ideal for regular home growers.
