Forono Beet
Sugar Sweet and Easy to Slice

  (1 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.

Uniform and delicious!
Reviewed By: Darline DeBry (Ferron, Utah)
These beets are delicious and do not have that muddy flavor of other beets. Because of it cylinder shape it is much easier to peel, cut and can.
