Originally from Europe, the Cylindra beetroot is distinguished by its elongated and elegant shape, contrasting with the more traditional round beetroots. This variety has become popular thanks to its mild flavor and its easy adaptation to modern organic vegetable gardens.

In the garden, it offers a refined silhouette similar to a daikon radish, pleasing both the eye and the palate. The Cylindra beetroot is a valuable companion plant, prized for its hardiness, steady growth, and thin, light skin, making it a perfect fit for sustainable vegetable rotations.

Growing climate: Cool to warm temperate climate
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Occasional
Note: Prefers cool but well-drained soil to prevent root rot.

The Cylindra beetroot lends itself to many culinary preparations: grated raw in salads, steamed, in soups, or roasted. Its firm, sweet flesh holds up well to cooking and develops a beautiful deep red color. It keeps well in the refrigerator and can be lacto-fermented or cooked and frozen. Traditionally, beetroot has been valued for its nutritional qualities and mild flavor, and is often used in soups and salads in Eastern Europe.
