Producing large, elongated pointed roots with attractive red-tinted flesh, this vigorous beet is highly productive and well suited to gardeners wanting a dual-purpose crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe young leafy tops can be harvested and used as nutritious greens, either fresh or cooked like silverbeet. As the plants mature, the roots develop into large, sweet beets suitable for roasting, soups, stews and storage. Their substantial size and high yields have also made them a popular fodder crop for livestock for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMangels have a long agricultural history throughout Europe and Australia, where they were traditionally grown to provide valuable winter feed for cattle, sheep and pigs.
