Beet Seeds - Detroit Dark Red

I love beets and the greens. In this case the red.

These are a unique and vibrant variety of beets known for their rich, deep red color and robust flavor. Originating from the Detroit area, these beets are prized for their tender texture and earthy sweetness, which intensifies when roasted or cooked. Their dark red hue is not just visually striking but also indicates the presence of antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any dish.

These beets are typically round in shape, with smooth, firm skin and a smooth, sweet interior. When harvested at the peak of freshness, Detroit Dark Red Beets are versatile and can be used in a variety of ways — from salads and soups to pickling and juicing. Their earthy flavor pairs beautifully with tangy dressings, goat cheese, citrus, or even as a topping for roasted meats.

Whether boiled, roasted, or raw, Detroit Dark Red Beets are a nourishing and delicious vegetable that can elevate any meal, adding both color and nutritional value.

It matures in about 45 days. Harvest beets when they are about 3 inches. But let some go and harvest the leaves over a whole season. I plant my beets 3-4 inches apart. Each beet seed is actually a pod so thin to 1 plant per space.
