ABOUT
Yellow beet gives the same kind of microgreen as red beet, in a different colour: golden-yellow stems and green seed leaves with a thin yellow line along the centre vein. The taste is mild and sweet with a light earthy note, softer than red beet and closer to young chard; the stems are juicy and crisp.
Under the cover the seedlings look pale, almost ivory. The gold appears only once the tray is in light, so you don't need to worry about the colour during blackout. Give the tray bright light as soon as the cover comes off.
Germination is the slow part. Each seed is a corky cluster of several embryos, so the tray fills in over several days, a few seedlings at a time. We sow yellow beet thickly, at about 100 g per tray. It is cut at the seed-leaf stage, so a thinly sown tray would look patchy.
IN THE KITCHEN
The mild taste and golden colour suit eggs, scrambled, soft-boiled or in an omelette: add the microgreens just before serving. They also work on crostini with soft cheese, beetroot tartare, chilled soups and grain bowls. Mix them with red beet microgreens for a two-colour garnish. Once cut, they keep for about a week in the fridge if you store them unwashed and dry in a lidded box.
