Dark Red Beet 100 Seeds Beta vulgaris
Beta vulgaris (Garden Beet) is a versatile, easy-to-grow heirloom vegetable valued for its sweet, earthy roots and nutritious leafy greens, making it an excellent addition to any home garden. This cool-season crop produces smooth, round to slightly flattened roots that typically measure 2 to 4 inches in diameter, while the lush green tops grow 12 to 24 inches tall with an equal spread. Both the roots and leaves are edible, providing two delicious harvests from a single planting. The tender roots are perfect for roasting, pickling, steaming, juicing, or enjoying fresh, while the young greens offer a mild, spinach-like flavor ideal for salads, soups, and sautéed dishes. Beta vulgaris thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil, producing the highest-quality roots during the cool temperatures of spring and fall. Its vibrant foliage also adds ornamental interest to vegetable gardens and raised beds, making it as attractive as it is productive. Rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, Garden Beet is a nutritious choice for home-grown meals. Fast-growing and dependable, it matures in as little as 50 to 70 days, rewarding gardeners with generous harvests and outstanding flavor. Whether grown in traditional garden rows, raised beds, or large containers, Beta vulgaris is a reliable, high-yielding crop that combines beauty, nutrition, and exceptional culinary versatility.
