Baby Beets
Baby Beets are tender and sweet, making them ideal to use in salads or as cooked vegetables. Harvest when young and tender to enjoy them at their best.
Beetroot is a versatile and delicious vegie that’s low in fat and is a rich source of folate and fibre. The red pigment in beetroot is also reported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant health benefits, so there are lots of fantastic reasons to eat beetroot.
The root part of beetroot can be grated into salads, roasted, used in relish, hommus, soups and sandwiches and the colourful leaves can be mixed into salads.
If you love home grown beetroot but don’t have a big vegie patch, then Yates® Baby Beets is an ideal space saving variety. They’re perfect for growing in pots or troughs, are tender and sweet and are ready to harvest only 6-7 weeks after sowing.
