Beetroot 'Shiraz'

Beta vulgaris

• Excellent, sweet flavour
• 7-10cm exceptionally smooth, round roots
• Rhizoctonia-resistant
• Tall, fast growing tops

The classic red beet - deep colour, smooth skin, great flavour and uniform growth uniform. With excellent disease resistance and a notably sweeter flavour, these beets are a winner!!

These round roots are remarkably low in oxalic acid, yielding a sweeter tasting beet. Bred to thrive in organic management, ‘Shiraz’ is an all around market grower and chef favourite.

In the early 2000's Steve Peters was involved in a breeding project that drew together crop scientists from the Organic Seed Alliance (OSA), organic seed growers, and seed retailers in an effort to create a better table beet for organic cultivation. The goal of the group was to develop a genetically elastic phenotypedisplaying heterotic vigor, good performance under organic conditions, and acceptance in the marketplace. ‘Shiraz’ is the result.
