Beetroot - D'Egypte - Quick growth, strong yields, sweet roots - Fresh Seeds

Beetroot D'Egypte (Beta vulgaris) is a well regarded early variety known for strong yields and a rich, sweet flavour. It produces round, slightly flattened roots with smooth, dark red skin and an intense red, juicy flesh. This variety is suitable both for early bunching harvests and for storing for winter. It grows quickly and evenly, giving uniform, well sized roots that are ideal for anyone who values home grown vegetables with natural sweetness. Its colour and taste bring real character to many dishes, from soups to salads. Seeds are available from GardenSeedsMarket.

Sowing depth

Sow D'Egypte beetroot seeds at a depth of 2 to 3 cm. This supports even germination, good rooting, and strong early growth.

Spacing

Keep 30 to 40 cm between rows and about 5 cm between plants in the row. This spacing allows the roots to develop freely and makes weeding, watering, and harvesting easier. With enough room, each beetroot can reach a good size and full flavour.

Harvest time

Harvest runs from June to October. The variety matures in about 90 to 100 days from sowing, which allows you to enjoy the first crops in early summer. It stores well in cool, dry conditions, so you can keep the harvest for longer.

Growing

This variety is rewarding to grow, coping well with changing weather and requiring only straightforward care. It performs best in fertile soil that stays lightly moist, with a neutral to slightly alkaline reaction. Choose a sunny position, as this helps the roots develop their sweetness. After harvesting, it keeps its freshness and deep colour for a long time. The flesh holds its colour well during cooking or pickling, making it a reliable choice for everyday meals and preserving, from juices to classic pickled beetroot.
