The Early Wonder Tall Top beetroot is an old variety prized for its sweet and flavorful roots. Originating in Europe, it is valued for its early maturity and elegant growth habit, with long, upright leaves that proudly reach for the sky.

In the garden, it proves robust and easy to grow, a perfect companion for organic vegetable gardens. Its fleshy roots provide a generous harvest early and regularly, adding a touch of texture and flavor to spring meals.

  • Growing climate: Temperate climate
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Occasional

Note: Sensitive to excessive moisture at the roots, prefer well-drained soil.

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.
