Beet Avalanche

2015 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

For any non-beet-lovers, this might just be the variety to change your mind! At least that’s what happened with one AAS Judge who previously, pretty much-despised beets. Now he states, “This beet has made me a believer!” Avalanche exhibits a mild, sweet taste with a uniform root shape and no reddish tinge, making for more attractive produce.

Judges raved about the raw eating quality when they discovered there was no earthy beety taste, nor any bitter aftertaste. As for garden performance, there’s hardly any vegetable easier or quicker to grow and in just 50 days, you too can have delicious white beets.
