Perfected Detroit Beet
Perfected Detroit Beet
Uniform Color, Size and Shape

  (2 customer reviews)

Perfected Detroit Beet has the same great flavor and canning/pickling qualities as Detroit Dark Red, but with more uniform color and shape. Deep rich red color throughout, no rings or white streaks. Always sweet and rich for canning, pickling and eating fresh! Approx. 400 seeds per packet. 58 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. For fall harvests, plant beets anytime from August to September 1 (zone 6- planting dates will vary by zone).

Seed Counts: 1 ounce of beet seed contains about 1,200 seeds and sows a 100-foot row.

Great tasting!
Reviewed By: Sue (Independence, MN)
These beets taste great. We love to serve them sliced as a chilled salad, with just salt & pepper, vinegar and oil, and sometimes a little onion. I don't pick my beets all at once. I harvest them as I consume them; they don't seem to mind staying in the soil.

Absolutely the best
Reviewed By: Sheila (White Lake, MI)
People who don't care for beets very much like these. If you DO like beets, you'll love them!! I'll never again plant anything else. Tried Detroit last year for comparison - there is none. Detroit is good, but definately 2nd best.
