| Beets Beta vulgaris
Historically speaking, beets seem to be a relatively new vegetable. With no firm records of their existence prior to the 1600s, what we call a "beet" today was known as a "Blood Turnip" up until the late 1880s.
Because the plants have a long taproot, beets like well worked, loam soil. However, if the soil is too rich, you may experience forked roots or plants that go to seed. Beets tend to toughen as they mature. Table varieties can be eaten raw, canned, pickled, baked or boiled.
Each packet contains four grams or approximately 200 seeds.
