Cylindra beets are a treasured heirloom variety brought to North America from Europe in 1892. Their distinctive cylindrical shape makes them ideal for pickling and slicing, while their naturally sweet flavor shines in both roots and tender greens. These beets grow to 20cm long with deep red flesh, with most of the root developing above ground. The leaves are sweeter than typical beet varieties and work beautifully in salads. For best results, hill soil around emerging roots to keep skins tender and protect from pests. These seeds also produce exceptional microgreens for an added harvest. Approx 5g Seeds
