The flavour is unmistakably beet: gently sweet, earthy, and grounding, with a satisfying crisp snap when you bite through the stem. Scatter a handful over a warm goat's cheese salad, tuck into a smoked salmon blini, or press into freshly buttered sourdough for an instant colour hit and a flavour that genuinely tastes of the garden. Beet seeds are clusters of 2–4 embryos in a corky hull, which is exactly what makes this variety so interesting to grow — once you understand their rhythm, the payoff in colour and flavour is extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eGROWING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:10px 0\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eSoak your Harley Queen seeds in warm water for 4–8 hours before planting — you'll notice the hard, corky seed clusters soften slightly.

Scatter approximately 23g of pre-soaked seeds per 25×50 cm tray (about 1.84g per 10×10 cm), spreading them as evenly as possible in a single layer. Press them lightly into the medium so every seed makes contact with the soil.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eCover with a second tray or blackout dome and place a light weight on top — this gentle pressure encourages the seeds to root deeply rather than sitting loose on the surface. Keep in a warm spot at 18–22 °C. Peek after day 3 and you'll see the first tiny magenta-red stems beginning to push through like little curved hooks.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eMaintain the blackout for 5–6 days in total. The seedlings will be pale, twisted, and all bunched together — that is completely normal and part of the magic. When they are pushing firmly against the cover and most seeds have sprouted, they're ready for light.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eMove the tray into bright light (a south-facing window or LED grow light, minimum 12 hours per day) and watch the stems intensify to their full magenta-red within 24–48 hours. This colour transformation is genuinely exciting — beet stems are among the most dramatic of all microgreens under light. Begin bottom watering: fill a tray underneath with a small amount of pH 6.0–6.2 water and let the medium draw it up. This keeps stems dry and prevents damping off.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eWater by the bottom-watering method once daily, or every other day — check the weight of the tray to gauge moisture. Keep the room temperature slightly cooler after germination (aim for 16–20 °C) and ensure good airflow around the tray; this deepens the stem colour and firms up the texture beautifully.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eHarvest at 18–20 days when the cotyledons are fully open and stems are standing tall and vivid. Cut just above the soil line with clean scissors in one smooth motion. Rinse gently, dry with a salad spinner or paper towel, and use immediately — or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5–7 days. Enjoy the earthy-sweet reward of your patience.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"deliseeds","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":56657372676483,"sku":"BEET-HARLEY-QUEEN-0100g","price":5.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":56657372709251,"sku":"BEET-HARLEY-QUEEN-0250g","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":56657372742019,"sku":"BEET-HARLEY-QUEEN-0500g","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":56657372578179,"sku":"BEET-HARLEY-QUEEN-1kg","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 kg","offer_id":56657372610947,"sku":"BEET-HARLEY-QUEEN-2kg","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 kg","offer_id":56657372643715,"sku":"BEET-HARLEY-QUEEN-5kg","price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9336\/9219\/files\/deliseeds-beet-harley-queen-microgreens-seeds.jpg?v=1774388145","url":"https:\/\/deliseeds.com\/en-es\/products\/beet-harley-queen-microgreens-seeds","provider":"Deliseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
