‘Golden Detroit’ Yellow Beetroot

We really love this variety. Yellow beets used to be widely grown, this is a really vigorous, quick-growing yellow beet from 1828 that makes round, bright yellow roots. It is tender and very sweet.

Although it is of course very nice cooked and sliced, that’s not all you can do with beetroot. Here we have also made a raw grated beet and carrot salad, served with pasta & fresh basil pesto , chadwick cherry tomatoes, and garnished with edible borage flowers. (You’ll find all the ingredients in the catalogue apart from the pasta) It’s the yellow in the middle – what a great colour!

Beautiful & very productive round yellow beetroot. Edible leaves.
