Beta vulgaris, Bright Yellow accented by Delicate White Rings, Originally From Sativa Rheinau in Switzerland, Wintersonne is a golden, round beet with strong, upright leaves. Its skin & flesh are bright yellow accented by delicate white rings. The sturdy foliage works well for bunching or as cooked greens, & its sweet, earthy flavour makes it perfect for grating raw into salads for extra crunch—much like carrots. The roots display a vibrant turmeric-yellow colour that remains after cooking. Wintersonne beets have a smooth, uniform skin, a distinctively sweet & aromatic taste, & notably do not bleed when heated. They are ideal for fresh sales & bunching, while also being robust, resilient, & adaptable to a variety of soil conditions., Seed Count Approx - 50 to 60 avg
