Grow a garden filled with Golden Detroit Beets, from freshly harvested beta vulgaris seeds. Golden Detroit is an heirloom variety that was introduced in the late 1820's. It differs from traditional red beets, with it's non bleeding flesh. The outer skin is brightly colored orange, while it's inner flesh is a golden yellow. Golden Detroit Beets are an excellent additive to salads. Just slice them up and toss them in. They are earthy, yet mild in flavor and can be enjoyed raw as well. The leafy green tops can also be enjoyed as a spinach alternative, and are a relative to Swiss Chard. Golden Detroit Beetroot plants are known to grow just over a foot tall, developing 2 to 3 inch roots, which can be harvested in roughly 50 to 55 days after transplanting.
