    ABOUT

    Harley Queen gives beet microgreens with vivid magenta-red stems under fresh green seed leaves. The taste is straightforward beet, earthy and sweet, and the stems snap cleanly when you bite them.

    What you sow is not a single seed but a corky seed ball holding several embryos. One ball can give two or more seedlings, and they appear over several days, not all at once. Wait for the end of blackout before you judge how the tray has germinated.

    While covered, the seedlings stay pale. The magenta-red develops once they reach the light, so keep the tray in strong light from the day you uncover it. A full 100 g per tray may look like a lot of seed, but it suits a crop that you cut as soon as the seed leaves open.

    IN THE KITCHEN

    Harley Queen microgreens are best raw, where you can see the magenta stems: on buttered sourdough or rye, blinis with crème fraîche, beetroot hummus, roasted squash, or dark leaf salads with orange. Scatter them on at the last moment, because warm food makes them limp. Leftovers keep for about a week in a closed box in the fridge, as long as you put them in dry.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Weigh out 100 g of seed (80–110 g) for a 25 × 50 cm tray. Soaking is up to you: give the seed 6–8 hours in water and drain it, or sow it dry.
    2 Level a 3–4 cm layer of damp potting soil or coco coir in a clean tray. Spread the seed evenly, one cluster deep, push it into the surface with your palm and cover it with a thin layer of soil or coco coir.
    3 Stack an empty tray on top, weight it lightly and leave the seed in darkness at 18–22 °C for 4–6 days. The seedlings appear over several days, not all at once, and stay pale while covered. Look in every day and water from below if needed. Don't let the medium get soggy, and don't keep the tray covered longer than necessary: a long, damp blackout invites mould. Some professional growers use a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution, for example to rinse seeds or mist the tray. We don't give dosages, because the wrong concentration can damage the seedlings: if you use it, follow the product label and do so at your own risk.
    4 Take the cover off when the seedlings begin to push it up, and set the tray under a grow light or at your brightest window, where the stems colour up. Water from below and keep some air moving: it helps prevent mould. If hulls cling to the leaves, mist the tray.
    5 Harvest 14–18 days after sowing, once the seed leaves have opened fully. Let the surface dry a little first, then cut just above the soil with a sharp knife or scissors.
