Beetroot

Beetroot, also known as beets, is a vegetable that belongs to the species Amaranthaceae, a family of plants that includes various leafy vegetables such as chard and spinach. Fairbanks offers a range of seeds, including speciality beetroots for bunching with smooth globe-shaped bulbs and a vibrant dark red colour. These beetroots bear intense dark green tops and present well when bunched together.

Being a hardy vegetable, beetroot can typically be cultivated all year round in New Zealand but grows best during the spring and autumn seasons.
