A striking Italian variety guaranteed to provoke comment when used to add both visual appeal and flavour to your beetroot recipes. The nicely ball-shaped roots are light red in colour instead of the usual beetroot. However, it's when they are sliced that they reveal their surprise as the flesh consists of highly ornamental, contrasting dark pink and white alternating rings.

Liven up mealtimes with this great mix of beetroot that comes in a range of colours (including the striking Italian variety Chioggia, with its internal rings of dark pink and white). They're sweet and flavoursome, particularly if harvested as mouth-watering baby beets. Harvest at baby size to eat raw or pickled and use mature roots for cooking. Stems and leaves are tasty in salads and steamed.

Bulls Blood beetroot is a magnificent dual purpose variety known for its deep red coloured leaves. This old variety has been used for both ornamental and culinary use since Victorian times. It was listed pre-1900 in England and is probably the only decorative-leafed Victorian beetroot variety surviving. This useful crop can be used at any stage of growth, harvest the leaves for baby leaf, in mixed salads or use steamed like spinach, or the roots can be left to grow like any other beetroot. Today, Bull's Blood is the variety used by the commercial growers for both baby leaf and mixed salad leaves. The leaves are broader than other beetroot varieties, more flavourful than other red accent crops, they can be harvested for baby leaf salads in as little as 35 days. Left to mature they have a particularly sweet taste when cooked, while the medium-sized spherical roots are tender and have a great flavour especially when young. Harvest in 60 days.

Sugar Beet roots are not a typical beet, having a large white and tapered root. A hardy grower, cold tolerant and can thrive in sun or partial shade and, relatively water wise. Sugar Beets can be used as a root vegetable, the leafy greens can be consumed and you can also process it for sugar.

A pure white, fairly smooth round heirloom beet from Holland. Its super sweet white flesh is unusual and tasty. The greens are also good. This beet can be used for making sugar.
