Beetroot Cylindra

Beetroot Cylindra, as its name suggests is a cylindrical beetroot. Smooth-skinned with dark purple-red flesh, it grows a dark red, elongated root 7 to 10cm long. This unique variety has a very fine, smooth texture with little fibre, the root maintains its sweetness and tenderness over a long growing season and does not get woody. A uniform and uniquely elongated beet that is perfect for storing. Ideal for closer spacing as the roots grow down instead of swelling out.

The roots are sweet with an earthy-caramel taste, especially lovely when roasted. The roots stand proud above the soil, but can be earthed up, and remain in good condition a long period. The red-green leaves are sweeter and more “beety” tasting than other beet leaves.
