Early Wonder Tall Top beetroot roots are versatile in the kitchen. Raw, they can be grated to create a fresh, colorful salad with a slightly sweet taste. Cooked, they blend easily into soups, roasts, purées, or marinades, retaining their vibrant color when handled gently.

This variety is also prized for its versatility in culinary preparations: roasted cubes for salads, pickles for homemade preserves, or puréed for spreads and side dishes. The roots keep well in a cool cellar and are ideal for lacto-fermentation, a traditional method that develops more complex flavors while extending their shelf life.
