Golden Beet
Best Seller! 55 days. A glorious, gilded beet with supremely sweet flesh and dense nutrition. The rich golden roots do not bleed or stain, making for less kitchen mess. It is an excellent variety for kids and newbie beet eaters, as the mellow flavor is much less earthy than regular red beets, and it’s a perfect choice for market gardeners and those looking to grow a rainbow of produce. Rich in folate, manganese and, of course, beta carotene. This variety dates back to at least the 1820s, but it did not become widely adopted by gardeners until Burpee Seed introduced it in the 1940s. Perfect for eating raw, roasting, juicing, and more!
