organic yellow beet

$ 4,50 – $ 15,00

Beta vulgaris, Amaranthaceae

A surprise bag of plump yellow beets, with flesh that's part yellow, part white. Tender, beautifully textured green tops as a bonus. Progeny of a 2nd-generation cross between 'Jaune Ovoïde des Barres' and 'Touchstone Gold'... so it's not a fixed variety! Rather, it's a 'landrace' population under selection, with variations on the yellow/white rather yellow theme.

Bag: 140-150 glomerules

10 g: 450-475 glomerules

20 g: 900-950 glomerules
