- Pickled Beets -

Some people like 'em ...
some people don't.

The Ruby Queen Beet cans and pickles beautifully. This variety is early, round, smooth-skinned and are exceptionally tender. The ringless and deep red Ruby Queen Beet retains color through processing. Freshly dug beets have a buttery-sweet flavor. You get twice as much for your effort, too: the young, green tops are deliciously nutritious. If you are thinking of planting some next year 1 ounce of beet seeds contains about 1,200 seeds and sows a 100-foot row. So you get a lot of yield for your money. ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
