description

Organic 'Cylindra' beetroot is an old variety with a unique appearance, prized for its elongated roots that immediately stand out from more classic round beetroots. In the garden, Beta vulgaris adds a touch of originality while offering a generous, regular harvest that is easy to prepare in the kitchen thanks to its practical cylindrical shape, which makes it easy to slice. Its red skin is easy to peel, revealing a fine, tender, and particularly sweet flesh, delicious both raw and lightly steamed. This beetroot is as appealing for its mild flavor as it is for its yield, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking for both simplicity and culinary quality. In loose, fertile, and well-drained soil, it develops beautiful, uniform roots, especially when moisture remains constant during growth. Its vigorous foliage enlivens the vegetable patch while the roots discretely lengthen underground, promising harvests that are as beautiful as they are flavorful. Easy to grow in full sun, it is very well suited to well-maintained cultures where each vegetable must combine aesthetics, yield, and culinary pleasure. It is a reliable, elegant, and productive variety, perfect for enriching harvests with a sweet and refined note.
