About Golden
Golden beet varieties produce orange-gold skin and yellow flesh with a mild earthy sweetness. They bleed less than red beets, which makes them popular for roasting and salads.
Growing Golden Beet
Golden beets can be a little less visually obvious at harvest, so check shoulder size at the soil line. Keep them growing steadily with even moisture to avoid woody texture.
