Beets are an excellent source of the B vitamin, folate, and a very good source of manganese and potassium. They are delicious, nutritious and low in calories. In addition Beets are thought to play an important role in the prevention of breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer.
The beets can be harvested when they reach 1½ inches in diameter. Do not allow them to grow over 3 inches as they become tough and fibrous. If you are using the leaves for salad; harvest when they are 3-4 inches long. See our Beet Harvest Tips page for complete harvesting instructions.
We grow our beet plants in larger pots, ensuring a more vigorous root system. We guarantee our starter plants to arrive alive, ready to thrive. Our beet plants start shipping according to the dates on our Spring Ship Dates page.
