57-65 days to harvest Beta vulgaris

The classic red beet, yet notably sweeter! These round roots are remarkably low in oxalic acid, causing even the beet-averse to come back for seconds. Growing vigorously with abundant, mild greens and excellent disease resistance, we love Shiraz Beet’s especially in summer slaw, dipped in hummus and other raw summer snacks.
