BEET SEEDS CYLINDRA, 10g

A high-quality, mid-late, and exceptionally high-yielding beet variety with an elongated shape, highly valued by gardeners for its compact growth habit and unparalleled ease of use in kitchen processing.Cylindra is a legendary and highly sought-after variety in gardens, producing long, cylindrical vegetables instead of traditional round roots. This beet is an excellent choice for those who want to maximize garden space, as its unique shape allows plants to be grown significantly closer together, yielding a record-breaking harvest weight per square meter. The 10-gram Toraf package offers a very generous and economical quantity of seeds, ensuring excellent germination and a strong start for young shoots.

• Kitchen processing, canning, and grating: The absolute best culinary use for this variety – its elongated shape allows the beet to be cut into visually perfect, smooth slices, which are excellent for pickling in jars and preparing winter salads.
• Small garden areas and raised beds: As the roots grow downwards rather than outwards, these plants can be planted much closer together, resulting in a substantial overall yield in a small area.
• Home cooking, soups, and borscht: Excellent for preparing traditional borscht, as well as baking in foil and processing into colorful winter preserves, ensuring exceptional color intensity.
• Long-term storage during winter months: The roots boast excellent storage capabilities – they perfectly retain their firmness, juiciness, and nutritional value in a cool cellar or sand until spring.

• Unique and practical cylindrical shape: Beets grow long, cylindrical with smooth, dark skin, reaching an average length of 15 to 20 centimeters.
• Intense and uniformly dark red flesh: The inside of the root is characterized by a smooth, saturated dark red color almost completely without woody rings, ensuring excellent product quality and a tender texture.
• Mild, distinctly sweet, and juicy flavor profile: The variety contains a high concentration of natural sugars, offering a juicy, pleasantly sweet, and full flavor without coarse or dry fibers.
• Exceptionally easy and quick vegetable peeling: Due to the smooth and straight shape of the root, it is extremely easy and quick to peel or grate, reducing waste and significantly saving time in the kitchen.
• Generous and economical 10g packaging: The abundant quantity of seeds in the packet allows for planting extensive garden rows at a very favorable price, ensuring a stable beet harvest throughout the season.

• Soil preparation: Since this variety forms long and deep roots, beets require deeply dug, loose, fertile, and well-drained soil with a neutral reaction, preferably sandy loam or loamy sand. Before sowing, thoroughly clear the bed of stones, weeds, and large clumps of soil to ensure the roots grow straight and unbranched.
• Sowing time and depth: Seeds are sown outdoors from May to early June in prepared furrows at a depth of approximately 2 to 3 centimeters. The recommended distance between sowing rows is about 25 to 30 centimeters.
• Care and essential thinning: Since beet seeds are naturally clusters (multiple shoots grow from one cluster), it is essential to thin the seedlings thoroughly after emergence. When the seedlings reach a few centimeters in height, thin them, leaving approximately 6 to 8 centimeters between plants, so that each beet has space to grow a full-sized root.
• Watering: Water beets moderately but regularly, especially during the seed germination phase and during intense root swelling in mid-summer. Maintain consistent moisture to ensure the roots grow as juicy and crunchy as possible.
