A wonderful, sweet heirloom from Denmark, famous for slicing with its long, cylindrical roots. It is a popular choice for slicing and processing, as its roots make much more uniform slices than round beets and its skin slips more easily after cooking. We love this variety for juicing, as its tapered roots are easier to feed into the machine. This tender and sweet variety is also known as “Butter Slicer” because of its wonderful texture. It is rich in antioxidants and top notch for home canning. 55 Days Full Sun Sprouts in 14-21 Days Seed Depth: 1/2" Ideal Temperature: 50-85 F Plant Spacing: 4-6" Frost Hardy: Yes Beta vulgaris
