Early Turnip-rooted Egyptian

A famously early flat beet, named because it makes a flattened bulb mostly above ground, reminsicent of the shape of a turnip.

This is an excellently flavoured heirloom from the 1800’s, and it was the quickest to make decent sized beets in our 2024 trial, as well as being very sweet and flavoursome.

Guest varieties are promising new ones we have found, but haven’t tested fully yet. This was our favourite new beetroot in 2024, so we’re now offering a few packets for you all to try on a wider scale. We’ll use all your feedback to decide to keep offering them or not.
