Cultivation Tips and Best Practices

• Sow 1–2 cm deep, in rows 25 cm apart and with 5–8 cm between plants to allow for optimal root development.
• Prefer light, fresh, well-drained soil with a pH of around 6.0 to 7.0. Work the soil deeply and lightly enrich it with mature compost to support root formation.
• Water regularly to maintain constant moisture, avoiding dry periods that slow growth and reduce root size.
• Thin if necessary to maintain recommended spacing to obtain well-developed roots and vigorous leaves. Harvest progressively to extend production.
• Typical harvest: approximately 50 to 70 days after sowing, depending on conditions and desired cycle. Pick young roots for a more delicate sweetness or wait until they reach a length suitable for your dishes.
• Use beetroot leaves as greens in salads or stir-fries to fully enjoy every part of the plant.
