Forage types yield plenty of large roots for livestock, but both greens and roots may be harvested young for table use. The “seeds” are actually capsules containing several seeds, so thin plantings and use the thinnings as baby greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"beet-albino","title":"Beet Seeds, Albino","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eBeta vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e). This one flips the whole beet idea on its head. Instead of earthy red roots, Albino gives you smooth, snow-white globes with a surprisingly candy-sweet flavor that’s clean, mild, and wonderfully different. Ready in about 55 days, it’s a Dutch heirloom that shines sliced raw for snacking and salads, yet cooks beautifully too. The tops make excellent greens, and the roots have even been used for sugar.

From leaf to root, this beet is drenched in deep blood-red to purple color, making it one of the most dramatic and useful varieties in the patch. Selected in 1986 by Dutch breeder Kees Sahin using the ancient Crapaudine beet as a parent, it brings old-world depth with modern garden performance. The baby leaves are ready in just 35 days and are prized for salads and microgreens, adding a rich gourmet look and a welcome burst of antioxidants, while the roots mature in about 50 days with a sweet, earthy flavor that’s equally satisfying roasted, cooked, or fresh.

Long, elegant roots make this Danish heirloom a favorite for cooks who like things tidy and practical. Cylindra is famous for its uniform slices, sweet flavor, and tender texture—so tender, in fact, it’s sometimes called “Butter Slicer.” Ready in 55 days, the roots peel easily after cooking, making them especially good for processing, home canning, and juicing, where their shape feeds smoothly into the machine.

Crosby’s Egyptian carries a great old market-garden story. Though its name suggests ancient origins, it was actually a German type refined in the 19th century during the “Egyptomania” craze and selected by Boston farmer Josiah Crosby for smooth, flat, saucer-shaped roots that matured early and stored beautifully. That mix of novelty and usefulness made it a market favorite, and it still holds plenty of appeal today.

Ferry seed company in 1892, Detroit Dark Red quickly earned its place as the classic all-purpose red beet, praised for its smooth, perfectly shaped roots and steady performance. In about 55 days, it produces rich blood-red beets with sweet, full flavor, while the generous tops make excellent greens, especially when picked young.

This is the beet for gardeners with big dreams and a sense of fun. Harvest it young and you’ve got sweet, earthy roots and tender greens, but let it run and it can swell into a true monster—ours have reached 40 pounds and even stretched 6 feet long. Popular as livestock feed in the 1800s, it still makes a superb fodder crop for chickens, horses, cows, and sheep, while the greens remain tender for months. It even has a sporting side, thanks to the old U.K. game of mangold hurling, which dates back to the 11th century.

Originating in Chioggia, the historic fishing town near Venice sometimes called “Little Venice,” this heirloom carries serious culinary pedigree and was first noted by the famed French seedhouse Vilmorin in 1840. Once considered a gourmet oddity in America, it has since become a chef favorite for its crisp crunch, tender flesh, and remarkably mild, sweet flavor that wins over even folks who say they don’t like beets.
