Touchstone Gold Beet (Beta Vulgaris)
The Touchstone Gold beet is distinguished by its golden orange color and its flesh rimmed with pale yellow, offering a visual appearance as pleasant as its taste. In addition to its notable advantage of not staining fingers during handling, this variety is sweet and can be eaten both raw and cooked. Unlike other varieties, it retains its pretty color when cooked, which makes it an excellent choice for a successful visual and taste presentation.
Its ease of cultivation and its early nature make it an ideal variety for amateur gardeners. In addition to its tasty roots, its edible leaves and stems are almost as delicious as the root itself, perfect for adding to dishes or salads. Touchstone Gold beetroot is therefore a versatile and attractive variety, which combines beauty, sweet taste and ease of cultivation.
