Brand new, unopened, 1.25g package of Detroit Dark Red Beets. Packaged for 2011.

I enthusiastically purchased more than I have room to plant, so rather than let them wait till next year, wanted to pass these on while still fresh.

The Beet Detroit Dark Red, 'Beta vulgaris', is a tender, sweet, tasty, and extremely nutritious root vegetable. The foliage is also highly regarded for taste and it has more iron than a hamburger. Home grown beets are delicious! The top growth is as tasty as chard or spinach. Detroit Dark Red Beets are great sliced and in salads. It is also a good container plant.

The Detroit Red Beet is a blood red globe-shaped vegetable. The Beet is cold hardy, and seeds can germinate and grow in soil temperatures as low as 40 degrees.

One of the best beets on the market. Ideal for boiling, pickling, canning, baking, and freezing. Excellent storage variety.
