"Mini Garden" series - mangold (beet) for fresh, cut leaves is an interesting alternative for all sprouts lovers. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) belongs to the most valuable vegetables. Its roots may be eaten all over the year - and the same applies to young leaves grown in boxes and pots. Green leaves with red veining that have reached couple of inches in height display distinct taste, yet are soft and tender. They have a high nutritional value and are valuable source of sugars, proteins, provitamin A and vitamins C, B1, B2, P and PP, as well as minerals - potassium, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, zinc and pectins that beneficially affect digestive processes. These greens are low-calorie and rich in fibre. They look great as dish garnishing.

Beetroot leaves prove to be a splendid, delicious addition to sandwiches, salads, white cottage and many others warm and cold plates. Juicy beetroot leaves may be picked even at the earliest development stages - as so called "baby leaves". They are so easy to grow - you would only need a pot, a few handfuls of soil and a warm, bright place to set up your own Mini Garden.
