About This

• An heirloom variety, originally selected from the wild sea beets Crapaudine, Bull's Blood Beet is grown as a root vegetable, commonly called a beetroot. A multi-purpose crop, this variety is known and mainly grown for its leafy greens.
• Bull's Blood Heirloom Beet can be grown throughout the season, but it is also an excellent choice for sprouts or microgreens. The beautiful deep burgundy leaves are highly ornamental and even more nutritious than the roots.
• Best eaten small, the pink beetroots are tender and have a deliciously sweet flavor. The leaves are a colorful addition to salad mixes, and the beetroots add a nutritional boost to smoothies and juices. Beetroots are an excellent source of fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, and vitamins A and C.
• Beet greens are low in calories and have all the benefits of the roots with even more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are one of the finest sources of the flavonoids B-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin; an excellent source of vitamin K; and a rich source of magnesium, copper, calcium, and iron.
• An herbaceous biennial, typically grown as an annual, Bull's Blood Beet is a member of the amaranth (Amaranthaceae) family. Bull's Blood Heirloom Beet grows quickly, forming a basal rosette. Open pollinated, the plant produces seed that grows true to variety, ideal for seed saving.
