Golden Beetroot Seeds

[55 days] A variety that dates back to the 1820s or before, golden beets are light and sweet—so much so that many prefer them to red beets. The roots have a fine texture and and stay tender even when large. In the kitchen they’re simply amazing roasted, beautiful when pickled, and honestly fare well in just about any application that calls for beets. A bonus is that they won’t stain your hands (or turn your poop purple). Also, the greens are so tasty that some people grow them just for the greens and claim that sautéed they taste better than kale or chard. (We’ll leave that up to you to decide.)

Easy to grow with a long harvest window, these are a must for any garden.
