Cultivation and harvesting tips

• Sowing: plant directly in the ground, 1–2 cm deep, in rows. Space seeds 3–4 cm apart and rows 30–40 cm apart.
• Soil and location: prefer light, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, in full sun to promote well-developed roots.
• Watering and maintenance: water regularly to keep the soil slightly moist and avoid droughts that can deform the roots.
• Thinning: when plants reach 5–7 cm, thin to leave 8–10 cm between each plant to obtain well-developed cylindrical roots.
• Harvesting: pick when roots reach 7–10 cm in length; they will then be perfectly cylindrical and tender. Early harvest is possible for younger, more tender beets.

Ideal for whom?

• Beginner gardeners looking for clean and quick results.
• Cooking enthusiasts who appreciate thin and uniform slices for neat presentations.
• Small vegetable gardens and balconies where space is limited, thanks to efficient growth and predictable harvests.
