Beetroot Detroit Red

Beetroot Detroit Red is a staple in home gardens, prized for its deep crimson colour and exceptional tenderness. This beetroot variety grows quickly and thrives in most climates, making it a reliable choice for gardeners of all levels. Its smooth, round roots develop best when harvested at a medium size, ensuring a juicy, flavourful bite every time. Unlike some beets that turn woody as they mature, Detroit Red stays pleasantly firm yet tender. Its rich, earthy taste carries just a hint of sweetness, perfect for those who love robust, natural flavours.

Beyond its roots, the leafy greens are also edible, adding a nutritious, slightly peppery touch to dishes. Planting is straightforward—just sow the seeds directly into well-drained soil, keep them watered, and enjoy a generous harvest in a matter of weeks. Whether you have a dedicated vegetable patch or a few containers on a balcony, this beet is easy to grow and rewarding to cultivate. Once picked, its versatility in the kitchen makes it a must-have for creative, seasonal cooking.
