Forono Beet

Sugar Sweet and Easy to Slice

(4 customer reviews)

Forono Beet produces smooth, cylindrical shape beets--for perfectly round slices every time. Resists bolting, won't go corky or soft if harvest is delayed. 60 DAYS.

Freshly dug beets have a buttery-sweet flavor that even kids will love. You get twice as much for your effort, too: the young, green tops are deliciously nutritious.

Pickled Beets
Reviewed By: Greg (Marion, Ia)
This is a good beet for pickling. Easy to peel and easy to slice. Grows even in a wet/cool growing season. Bought 2oz more for the 2009 season.

WOW
Reviewed By: David Rice (Windsor, Vermont)
My family has always had problems growing the traditional beets because of our soil type and the crazy Vermont climate. I ordered a packet of Forono Beets this year from Gurneys and we had beet greens in a Months time! Very excellent, and sweet tasting, grows very well. Goes well with Salt Pork!!
