McKenzie Seeds Beet Golden Detroit Seeds

Yes, unlike traditional red beets, this variety is non-bleeding. The golden flesh retains its vibrant color even after boiling or roasting, which makes them excellent for salads or pickling where you want to avoid staining other ingredients.

You can expect to harvest these beets in 50 to 60 days after sowing. They are a relatively fast-growing variety, making them a reliable choice for a quick turnaround in your garden.

These beets are container-friendly, so they work well in pots or raised beds as long as the container is deep enough to accommodate root growth. Just ensure they are placed in a spot that receives full sun.

This variety is specifically bred to be resistant to Cercospora leaf spot and Fusarium Wilt (Race 1). This makes them a more reliable option for home gardeners who have struggled with these specific issues in the past.

Bolting is when a plant prematurely goes to seed, often due to heat stress, which can make the roots woody and bitter. Being slow to bolt means this variety is more tolerant of temperature fluctuations, allowing you to harvest them over a longer window without sacrificing flavor.

The glossy green tops are completely edible and quite attractive. You can treat them similarly to chard or spinach, either sautéing them or adding them raw to salads.
