‘Burpees Golden’ Yellow Beetroot

Yellow beet were first introduced in the early 1800’s, but this is a slightly more modern improved version that was bred by The Burpee Seed Company in 1970. This has fat cylindrical, really golden yellow roots.  Tender and very sweet, in the photo it is simply boiled and served alongside pasta with pesto, garden peas, grated cheese and a touch of black pepper….mmm!

Another great yellow beet, this time with a more cylindrical shape.
