Something a bit different from the usual red beet, features attractive globe shaped, orange-yellow roots that turn golden yellow when cooked. Has a sweet taste, fine texture and tender, even when large. Leaves are light green and can be steamed or used raw in mixed salads.
A range of uses, including fresh sales, processing, roadside (farm shop) and pick-your-own, and also becoming increasingly popular as a ‘mini-veg’. Approximately 40-100 seeds per gram. Sow mid March-July, or under glass in January-February to crop May onwards. Germinates between 8 and 25°C. Sowing rate 5 kilos per hectare for early bunching crops, 10 kilos per hectare for the fresh market maincrop, 15 kilos per hectare for pickling and mini beet. Monogerm varieties have only one seed per fruit and therefore require less thinning; drill at 650,000 seeds per hectare.
