White Albino, Beets,

This particular type of beet is an heirloom from Holland. It produces very sweet white beets that remain tender and flavorful even when when growing large. They can even be used for making sugar. Some people like to fry or pickle them. The Albino beet is high-yielding and stores well. Cover the roots with soil to maintain the best color and avoid green tops. Although traditional beet dishes like pickled eggs and borscht may look different with this paler variety, the snow-white roots have a delicious flavor and are the sweetest of all table beets. This round heirloom beet can be enjoyed raw, sliced thin for snacking or in salads, and can also be used for cooking. Remember to harvest the nutritious tops for beet greens!
