Detroit Dark Red Beets

Detroit Dark Red Beet. Heirloom vegetable. This 1892 introduction is the standard bearer of the beet family! Dark red, globe-shaped roots have a smooth crown and small taproot.

The quick maturity, sweet slightly earthy taste, uniform shape, and consistent interior colour make this variety the perfect candidate for canning or freezing. Very low in geosmin, the naturally occurring compound in beets responsible for their "earthy" flavour.
