Description

The elegant beet for uniform slicing and easy storage. ‘Cylindra’ produces smooth, elongated roots about 6–8 inches long with dark red flesh and a rich, earthy sweetness. Its shape ensures consistent slices for roasting, canning, and pickling, with minimal waste and maximum flavor.

Plants have upright, dark green tops that are easy to harvest, and the roots pull cleanly from loose soil. The flesh stays tender even when large and develops a deep, consistent color throughout.

A Danish heirloom introduced in the late 19th century, ‘Cylindra’ became a staple for home gardeners and market growers alike. Practical, flavorful, and beautifully formed—proof that elegance can come from simplicity.
