Description

Grow a piece of agricultural history and produce your own sweetener with our heirloom Sugar Beet seeds. Unlike common red table beets, this variety is prized for its large, white, conical root that has an incredibly high sucrose content. It's the same type of beet that has been a primary source of the world's sugar for centuries. This is a fascinating and rewarding project for the adventurous gardener, offering the unique opportunity to process your own all-natural sugar or syrup. The leafy tops are also edible and nutritious.
