BEETROOT SEEDS CYLINDRA - 50 BEETROOT SEEDS

BEETROOT  CYLINDRA

Beetroot Cylindra, as its name suggests is a cylindrical  beetroot. Smooth-skinned with dark purple-red flesh, it grows a dark red, elongated root 7 to 10cm  long. 

This unique variety has a very fine, smooth texture with little fibre, the root maintains its sweetness and tenderness over a long growing season and does not get woody. 
The roots are sweet with an earthy-caramel taste, especially lovely when roasted. The roots stand proud above the soil, but can be earthed up, and remain in good condition for a long period. The red-green leaves are sweeter and more “beety” tasting than other beet leaves.

Beetroot Cylindra matures medium early, a little more slowly than globe-shaped beetroot, but because of its cylindrical root shape can be spaced more closely together, making it productive in small spaces. Because of its uniform width, it is ideal for cutting into uniform slices (it is sometimes called Butter Slicer), perfect for slicing, pickling and canning.
