From deep red classics to buttery golds, this collection provides a versatile mix for every taste and growing need—perfect for fresh salads, cooking, or long-term storage.

Four Distinct Beet Varieties for Every Garden:

  • Ruby Queen Beet: A reliable, round red beet with mild, sweet flavor and tender texture. Excellent for fresh eating, roasting, or canning. The greens are equally nutritious and delicious in salads or grown as microgreens.
  • Detroit Dark Red Beet: A classic, high-yielding beet with rich color and delectably sweet flavor. Grows well outdoors or indoors as microgreens, making it a great choice for home gardeners and survival growers alike.
  • Detroit Golden Beet: Vibrant orange roots that cook into a buttery golden hue without bleeding. Mild and sweet whether eaten raw or cooked. Adds color and nutrition to salads, soups, and roasted dishes.
