Beetroot Plant 'Boltardy'Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris 'Boltardy'
What a useful and nutritious vegetable! Young leaves can be eaten as baby leaves. The small beets can be used as salad beetroot and then of course the mature beets can be used in salads or cooked as a vegetable. Eat raw grated, boiled - with or without vinegar, or roasted as beetroot chips - Molly and Milly Shirley's favourite. And if that's not enough you can use the mature leaves just like Spinach or Chard. As the name suggests, bolt resistant. The deep red flesh has a smooth skin. Supplied as compost blocks each containing approximately four plantlets .
