Beetroot Egyptian (Baby Leaf) Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBeta vulgaris
Egyptian Beetroot is a fast-growing heirloom variety producing distinctive flat-round roots with deep red flesh and attractive lighter internal zoning. One of the earliest beetroot varieties to mature, it is prized for both its sweet, tender roots and its abundant nutritious foliage.
When grown as baby leaf greens, Egyptian Beetroot produces vibrant young leaves with rich green colouring and red stems, adding colour, texture and flavour to salads and mixed leaf harvests. The leaves are tender, mild and highly versatile, while mature plants develop the characteristic dark red roots that have made this variety a gardener's favourite for generations.
Suitable for harvesting at multiple stages, Egyptian Beetroot can be enjoyed as microgreens, baby leaf greens or mature roots. Its rapid growth and reliability make it an excellent choice for home gardeners seeking continual harvests throughout the cooler months.
