Harvest Method-
1.Timing: Harvest F1 Hybrid Beetroot (RED JEWEL) when the roots reach 2-3 inches in diameter. The size and maturity of the beetroots can be assessed by gently squeezing the soil around them. If they feel firm and solid, they are ready for harvest.
2.Tools: Prepare a sharp knife or garden fork for harvesting. Gloves are recommended to protect your hands from dirt and potential staining from the beetroots.
3.Harvesting Technique: Carefully loosen the soil around the beetroot using the garden fork or your hands. Gently grasp the beetroot’s leaves and pull it upwards, ensuring the entire root is extracted. Avoid twisting or pulling too forcefully, as this can damage the beetroot.
4.Post-Harvest Handling: Once harvested, shake off excess soil from the beetroots. Trim the leaves and taproot, leaving about an inch of stem attached to prevent bleeding. Wash the beetroots thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining dirt.
5.Storage: Store F1 Hybrid Beetroot (RED JEWEL) in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer for up to 2-3 weeks. Wrap them individually in a damp paper towel or place them in a perforated plastic bag to maintain moisture and prevent wilting.
Additional Tips-
– Harvest beetroots in the morning when the soil is still cool and moist, as this will make them easier to extract and reduce the risk of damage.
– If the soil is particularly dry, water the beetroots a few hours before harvesting to soften the soil and facilitate easier removal.
– Avoid harvesting beetroots during hot or humid weather, as this can increase the risk of wilting and spoilage.
– For extended storage, consider freezing cooked or pickled beetroots.
Enjoy the delicious and nutritious harvest of your F1 Hybrid Beetroot (RED JEWEL)!
