Detroit Dark Red Beetroot Seeds

The Detroit Dark Red beetroot is a well known and widely used variety because of its flavoursome leaves and delicious roots.  Expect beautiful beets of up to 7-8cm and baby leaves of green with red veins. (stunning in salads!)

Soak seeds for 8hrs or overnight to improve the germination rate – when they sink, they are ready to plant. The beetroots store well and have a good resistance to ‘downy mildew’.

Health & Culinary Notes

  • Leaves harvest in 30 days and add the perfect flavour to any salad or sandwich.
  • Roast the beets for amazing colour and flavour.
  • Great source of folic acid and vitamins A and C.
