description

The 'Taunus' beet brings an original and very practical silhouette to the vegetable garden thanks to its long, straight, and regular cylindrical roots, which make both harvesting and culinary preparation easier. This variety is particularly appreciated for its tender, fine, and sweet flesh, ideal for gardeners looking for a productive beet with a consistent and pleasant taste. Its dark green foliage also adds presence to the garden beds, while offering an additional harvest when young leaves are picked for salads or stir-fries. In the garden, it stands out for its excellent uniformity, a valuable asset for successive harvests, homemade preserves, and well-organized vegetable gardens. It prefers light, deep, and well-loosened soils, where its elongated roots can form without deformation. With regular watering and continuous cultivation in living soil, it produces generously throughout the summer and until the autumn harvests. Its elongated shape also makes it particularly easy to clean and peel, which adds to its appeal for gardener-cooks. 'Taunus' is thus an elegant, reliable, and tasty beet, as beautiful in the row as it is delicious on the table.
