Beetroot Detroit Dark Red

Beetroot 'Detroit Dark Red' is a highly popular and reliable heirloom variety, cherished by South African gardeners for its consistently uniform, round roots and exceptionally rich, deep red colour. This versatile vegetable boasts a sweet, earthy flavour that is equally delicious whether harvested young for tender baby beets or allowed to mature into larger, perfectly shaped globes. Both the roots and the nutritious green leaves are edible; the greens can be cooked like spinach, while the roots are superb roasted, boiled, pickled, grated raw into salads, or juiced. Its vigorous growth and adaptability make 'Detroit Dark Red' a fantastic choice for home gardens and market growers, offering abundant harvests for a wide array of culinary applications.
