Beetroot - Detroit 2 ECO

A highly cultivable beet with beautiful, large, round, and smooth-skinned roots.

The skin is dark red just like the delicious flesh.

Equally pleasant boiled as well as pickled, and the young leaves can be used in the same way as chard since they are very tasty.

This variety is suitable for so much, such as salads, juices, soups, and much more when it comes to food.

We at Florea also want to share a cooking tip on this particular variety that we really enjoy.

It is salt-baked beets with thyme and lemon butter.

Simply magical! In addition to being a very popular side dish to many dishes, it is also an incredibly healthy vegetable with many healthy benefits and properties.

Beets contain, among other things, a lot of folic acid and alkaloids which together help to lower the body's homocysteine levels which reduces the risk of heart disease.

Beets are also rich in nitrate, which in the body is converted to nitrogen oxide.

Many studies show that the molecule dilates and relaxes blood vessels which in turn contributes to a more oxygen-rich blood and lowers blood pressure.

So, if you want improved metabolism, performance, and muscle function, Detroit 2 is the vegetable you are looking for. A healthy treat with a broad range of uses!
