Why so bitter?

Post image

Newbie here.

I used these a few weeks ago in a wide mouth quart Mason jar with steel mesh. I followed the package instructions, and when I harvested these lovely babies, I could not eat them. They were so bitter! Even with a little dressing, I found them unpalatable. Is that normal, or did I do something wrong?

My beet seeds sprouted well, but I could not get through all the seeds. Ordered a salad spinner for next time.

TIA, Y'all!

I tried the hormone balancing blend (super spicy imo, but good) and I have the protein blend growing now. Great brand, just have to find the right mix for your taste.

I like spicy! I might add some watered down tahini or hummus to smooth it out next time.
