Journey of the sugar beet
SUGAR IN OUR COFFEE, ON OUR PANCAKES AND IN OUR PASTRIES. IT ALL STARTS WITH A TINY SEED THAT GROWS INTO A SUGAR BEET. HOW DOES THIS BEET END UP IN OUR FOOD AND DRINKS AND EVEN IN OTHER PRODUCTS LIKE PAPER AND COSMETICS? FOLLOW THE BEET ON ITS JOURNEY TO FIND OUT! March to April Sowing The journey starts in March when we wait for Mother Nature to provide the right conditions for the beet seeds to grow. Sowing is ideally done as early as possible, but usually after 10 March. Before then, the risk of prolonged spells of cold weather is still too high.
