TIPS FOR ORGANIC BEET
FOR SPROUTS & MICROGREENS
SOIL SCENT
Organic Beet naturally have a strong, purple colour and a thick seed hull. This seed hull tend to have a soil like scent, when it is wet.
The scent does not mean your beet sprouts have gone bad.
The soil like scent on the beet sprouts will dissapear once you remove the hulls just before eating the sprouts.

SLOW GROWTH
Your organic Beet seeds will start to sprout very slowly. It is normal that they lie dormant in your sporuter the first 3-4 days after the soaking.
But stay patient and keep rinsing morning and evening. On day 5 you will start to see a small purple tip peek out of the seed hull.
Soon after you can clearly see progress.
Karen –
Difficult as sprout but works very well as microgreens. Guess it is because I gave the micros more heat and moisture – a tip for all you others out there 😉
