The dark red juice is also widely used as a red food colouring. Selected by Kees Sahin in the Netherlands from the French variety 'Crapaudine' for its darker coloured leaves. 35-65 days. 260 seeds

HISTORY: Beetroot has been cultivated since early Greece & Rome, when white beets shared equal popularity with red. Early beetroot were long & carrot like in appearance with the round beetroot only becoming popular during the late 19th & 20th century.
