Detroit Beet Seed Collection, Heirloom Seeds — Three Colors of Detroit Beet in One Money-Saving Collection

The Detroit Beet Seed Collection brings together three outstanding heirloom Detroit beet varieties — the classic dark red, golden orange, and snow-white — in one collection at a great price. Sweet, packed with fiber, vitamins, and nutrients, beets are excellent roasted, baked, steamed, and pickled. Their tops are equally valuable — beet greens are a bonus dual-purpose crop favored for salads and cooking. A cool-season crop that can be grown in spring and again in fall. 50 days.

What’s in the Collection?
