As the name suggests, this variety produces a long, slim, cylindrical-shaped beetroot, with a dark red colour to both the outer smooth skin and the inner sweet-tasting flesh. These roots are perfect for getting the most slices out, producing a high number of consistent rings.

An impeccable variety for preserving, this beet is easier to prepare than globe types due to its cylindrical shape and smooth, easy-to-remove skin, which once boiled simply slides off with ease. Definitely deserves the title of "The Home Canner's Beetroot."

Sow little and often, and you will be picking the roots over several months.

Standard packet contains approx. 200 seeds
