White Albino (Beta vulgaris) is a Dutch heirloom beet and the sweetest of all table beets — snow-white roots with a delicious, clean flavor that is noticeably milder and sweeter than red varieties. No staining, no bleeding, no purple hands — a genuinely stainless alternative to traditional red beets that retains its taste beautifully through cooking. High-yielding and stores well. Remains tender and flavorful even when growing large. Enjoy raw sliced thin in salads, roasted, pickled, or even used for making sugar.
