Beet microgreens are young beet plants that are harvested when they are about 2-3 inches tall.
They have colorful stems and leaves that range from pink to purple to green, depending on the variety.
They have a sweet and earthy flavor that resembles mature beet leaves, but in a smaller and more tender form.
They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and K, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and copper.
They may have health benefits such as reducing inflammation, boosting digestion, and promoting healthy skin.
They are easy to grow at home with some basic materials such as seeds, soil, trays, and a grow light.
They take about 10-20 days to grow from seed to harvest, depending on the growing conditions and the desired size.
They can be used as toppings for salads, sandwiches, toast, or any other dishes that need some color and flavor. They can also be added to beet juice or smoothies for a nutritional boost
