These Dark Red Beets grow into gorgeous, tender sprouts with deep red shoots and delicate green leaves.  An amazing earthy flavor rounds out this extremely rewarding micro-green.

Beets can be the more difficult sprout to grow… but well worth it!  It's the prettiest sprout there is (flame red) and can make any plate look and taste even better.

Beets like warm air 75 - 78 degree temperature, humidity 80 - 86%, water temperature 70 degrees) and low light in the room for the first 3 days. The outer surface of a beet seed is like a sponge and can absorb a great amount of water.  Please read these instructions carefully:

Proper way to sprout Beet seed:

1. Put beet seed in a bucket/tub/container
2. Let the seeds soak in warm (not boiling and not cold) water for approx. 8 hours. Stir well in about 4 hours.
3. Put in colander and Rinse with lukewarm water until the water that comes off is no longer brown.
   ⚠️ This is important, as red beet has the above water soluble anti-sprouting components (slime) on its hulls. This is a protection: otherwise, in nature, red beet would sprout in an environment that is not humid enough. Clever seed, isn’t it?
4. Set aside in a warm room.  Give NO WATER and it will sprout in approx. 24-48 hrs.
5. Then, water as you would any of your other sprouts & micro-greens

Happy planting!

Harvest when the first true leaves develop, cutting just above the soil line.

The all-new Micro-Greens & Sprouts Seed Bank includes everything you need to start growing fresh nutrient-rich sprouts in as little as 3 days!

Includes Large Glass Mason Jar

Each and every living seed will grow into a plant. It's when that seed begins to grow (germinate) that we call the beginning growth stage of the plant a "sprout". This is the practice of germinating seeds to be eaten either raw or cooked. They are a convenient way to have fresh vegetables for salads, or otherwise, in any season and can be germinated at home or produced industrially. Sprouts are said to be rich in digestible energy, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and phytochemicals!  In as little as 3 days you will be able to start eating your fresh sprouts! Super easy to grow and extremely healthy for you.

Steps for Sprouting Seeds

The easiest method of growing sprouts is to use a Mason jar. The key is to provide plenty of fresh air to enter the jar and only cover the top with a mesh screen.

Step 1: Soaking

For a quart-sized jar, put 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of small seeds (up to 1 cup if using larger seeds like green peas or garbanzo) in the sprouting jar. Cover top of jar with cloth or sprouting lid and rinse the seeds in warm (not hot) water. Drain and refill so that water is about an inch above the seeds. Let the seeds soak 8-12 hours (overnight). Protect from light by covering with a dish towel or placing in a cupboard.

Step 2: Rinsing

Rinse 2 to 3 times per day for 2 to 3 days. After thoroughly draining the rinse water, lay the jar on its side to spread out the seeds. Do not expose to light. After 2 to 3 days the sprouts should be filling up the jar.


Things to Remember:

1. Rinse often (2-3 times/day).

2. Keep them moist, not wet.

3. Keep them at room temperature.

4. Give them air to breathe.

5. Don't grow too many in one container.

6. Keep them in a dark place.
