Cylindra Beet (Beta vulgaris)
Cylindra produces unique elongated, slender roots that are ideal for slicing. Smooth textured skin, with rich red flesh and a sweet, subtly earthy flavour. Perfect for roasting, pickling, grating into slaws, or adding to pasta or risotto to infuse them with vibrant beet colour. Cylindra beet seeds also happen to produce particularly nice micro-greens.
