Albina Vereduna organic beet
$ 4,50
Beta vulgaris, Amaranthaceae
The flesh of the Albina Vereduna beet is pure white, finer than that of red beets, with a texture reminiscent of potato, and very sweet. It will remain tender even if allowed to grow large. But it's best eaten young, picked the same day, in a warm salad, barely cooked, thinly sliced and topped with a vinaigrette. The tops are completely green and very tender. The beet to try for those who think they don't like them.
bag = 160-190 glomerules
