Golden Beetroot
Bring a burst of colour to your garden and kitchen with this stunning Golden Beetroot! Its rich yellow-orange flesh is beautifully sweet, smooth in texture, and holds its colour perfectly when cooked. Easy to grow and wonderfully versatile — roast, pickle, or slice raw into salads for a pop of golden goodness. Even the tender leaves can be eaten raw or cooked like spinach for a nutritious bonus harvest!
Harvest
June to October – fleece from frost to extend harvesting through winter. Clean roots and store in a cool, airy space.
