Organic 'Bull's Blood' Beetroot
Organic 'Bull's Blood' beetroot is an heirloom variety of great character, admired as much for the richness of its purple foliage as for the sweetness of its dark red roots. In the vegetable garden, Beta vulgaris immediately catches the eye with its intensely colored young leaves, which provide relief and contrast among greener vegetables. This ornamental presence does not detract from its generosity, quite the opposite: it offers both tender leaves for salads and tasty roots to be cooked in a thousand ways. Its sweet and sugary flavor makes it a highly appreciated variety for summer and autumn harvests, both by amateur gardeners and by heritage vegetable enthusiasts. Introduced before 1840, it evokes those old vegetable gardens where beauty and utility grew side by side, in simple and nourishing abundance. Easy to grow in loose, well-drained soil, it enjoys sun and regular moisture to develop tender roots and lush foliage. Young shoots are harvested early to color plates, while the roots mature steadily over the weeks. It is a beetroot that is at once decorative, productive, and full of history, enriching both the garden and the kitchen.
