    Nutrition

    Beet microgreens are a source of vitamin A and vitamin K.*

    Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.

    A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.

    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.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Weigh out 100 g of seed (80–110 g) for one 25 × 50 cm tray. You can sow it dry, or soak it in water for 6–8 hours and drain it before sowing.
    2 Spread moist potting soil or coco coir 3–4 cm deep in a clean tray and firm it lightly. Scatter the seed evenly in one layer, press it down and cover it with a thin layer of soil or coco coir.
    3 Put another tray on top with a light weight and keep it in the dark at 18–22 °C for 4–6 days. The seedlings come up gradually, not all together, and stay pale at this stage. Look under the cover every day and water from below as the medium begins to dry. Keep it moist but not wet, and uncover the tray as soon as most seedlings are up: 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 Once most seedlings press on the cover, remove it and put the tray in strong light, where the stems turn gold. Water from below as before and keep the air moving around the tray: it helps prevent mould. If hulls stick to the leaves, a light mist loosens them.
    5 Harvest 14–18 days after sowing, when both seed leaves have opened out. Water the tray for the last time about 12 hours before you cut, then snip the stems just above the medium.
