Beta vulgaris These selections are well suited for cut salad or full size production. Raw flavor is mild, sweet, and most tender at young stage. Color intensifies with age, as does full flavor. Excess nitrogen and low light causes nitrate uptake and mutes pigmentation. Seeds Per Packet: 300 Seeds Per Ounce: 2,100
Bulls Blood Beet Truly a salad beet, with the darkest purple-red leaf a salad grower could want. This strain comes to us well-selected from our breeder friend John Navazio, and we selected it hard again for uniformly dark leaves, even in baby growth or summer heat. Roots are bright red and attractively striped and make a beautiful root salad. pricing and more

Early Wonder Tall Top One of the old workhorses of commercial beet production. Tops are erect and impressive, as the name suggests, and low in oxalic acid, as we like it. Fine textured, dark red roots retain their tenderness even at a large size. A good market bunching beet, and still a favorite after 40-odd years of growing them. pricing and more

Rhubarb Chard The standard for all red chards, with rich red stems and dark green savoyed leaves. Stems and leaf veins color up early for good effect in salad mix. pricing and more

Touchstone Gold By all accounts, this is the best gold beet available. Smooth round roots are richly colored, fine textured, sweet as beets get, and have glossy tender tops. The color (beta-carotene) does not bleed, so gold beets mix well with other root crops in cooking. The best example of OP beet breeding in years. Our seed comes from carefully reselected roots. pricing and more
