Leafy varieties of beets such as Swiss chard and sea beets date to 1st century BC. The first description of garden beets with fleshy edible roots are from Germany in the 16th century. There is speculation that the early form of the crop was a winter annual and through selection for a food plant that could be stored through the winter the beet developed an enlarged storage root and became a biennial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also sugar beets grown for their sugar content and fodder beets called mangels grown for their nutritional tops and root which are used as animal fodder.

It is Rhizoctonia-resistant. Shiraz beet can be sown in the spring for summer harvest, 55-60 days, or in the fall for winter harvest, 70–80 days.In the early 2000s, seed breeder 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 phenotype displaying vigor, good performance under organic conditions, and acceptance in the marketplace. The picture shows the result after about five years of breeding: Shiraz Tall Top.Before the collaborative effort began, OSA plant breeder Dr. John Navazio spent several seasons developing the base population of a new beet variety by cross-pollinating three genetically distinct heirloom beet varieties, each of which held certain desirable traits. His familiarity with many varieties made his contribution particularly valuable.The fourth image here is the standard table beet, Red Ace, an F1 hybrid variety. On the right is an early generation of the Shiraz project. Note the extra length of the Shiraz tops and the nice smooth skin and rounded shape, making it an excellent dual-purpose vegetable.  Tags: Harvest: Mid, Color: Red, Shape: Round, Season: Spring Fall, Certification: Organic.##Strong Roots##Certified Organic by CCOF##Seed grower since 2004##\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/files\/Strong-Roots-Farm.jpg?v=1607656897##Strong Roots Farm grows certified organic seed, produce, and garden starts in Mendocino County, California.
