​​​​​​​Beta vulgaris L. var. esculenta
Beetroot "Detroit 2".
Ideal for freezing!
A mid-early variety of red beet that ripens 85-95 days after planting.
Root crops are round, very beautiful, with a smooth skin and a small rosette of leaves. The pulp is dark red, excellent structure and pleasant taste.
