/

Detroit Dark Red beet is a classic heirloom variety known for its deep red, globe-shaped roots and excellent flavor. This beet matures in about 55-60 days, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Sow seeds 1 inch apart and thin seedlings to 3-4 inches to allow for proper root development. Consistent watering is essential for optimal growth and sweetness. The vibrant green tops are also edible, perfect for salads and sautéing. Detroit Dark Red beets are versatile and ideal for roasting, boiling, or pickling, offering both high yields and robust flavor.

Like what Dad's grandma grew

I am not a beet lover but my Dad had been talking about the pickled beets that his grandmother had made when he was a kid. The description of the Detroit Deep Red Beet sounded closest. I grew them and then followed the pickled beet recipe from the USDA. He said that it was exactly what he remembered and the best that he had ever had. I would include a photo but he has eaten them all.
