Crosby Egyptian Beets represent a distinguished heirloom lineage tracing back to 1860s Germany, combining historical significance with exceptional culinary performance. This time-honored variety produces large, uniformly round, and characteristically flat roots that have earned recognition among serious gardeners and professional growers for their superior flavor profile and impressive yields. The distinctive flattened globe shape of Crosby Egyptian beets makes them exceptionally practical for kitchen preparation, slicing evenly for pickling, boiling, or roasting. Their deep burgundy flesh develops rich, earthy sweetness that intensifies through cooking, making them ideal for traditional preservation methods or contemporary culinary applications. The tender greens are equally valuable, offering nutritious additions to salads and cooked vegetable dishes. With a germination rate exceeding 80%, this variety demonstrates reliable establishment and consistent performance across varied growing conditions. Maturation occurs in approximately 60 days when planted in full sun with well-drained soil, allowing multiple succession plantings throughout the growing season. The robust root development and disease resistance characteristic of this heirloom make it particularly valuable for organic and sustainable gardening practices. Each packet contains 200 premium non-GMO seeds, carefully preserved to maintain the genetic integrity that has made Crosby Egyptian a gardener's favorite for over 160 years. Our commitment to sustainable packaging reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship, ensuring that heritage quality reaches your garden with minimal ecological impact. Experience the authentic taste and reliable performance that define this exceptional heirloom variety.
