Platter of Red Beets '(Early) Crosby's Egyptian'
- Product number: 022400
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Beta vulgaris
In 1880, this American variety was developed through cultivation from a German variety. The flat-round, small, deep red beets are still considered one of the earliest harvestable, combined with a very good taste. The small roots grow almost entirely above ground and are therefore easy to harvest. Not frost-resistant!
