A much-loved, elongated Beetroot with a rich history!
MacGregor's Favourite is a 19th-century Scottish variety with two reasons to grow it: its beautiful, dark red, tender leaves (when picked young) are a tasty, healthy and attractive addition to salads, and the long, conical roots (when grown evenly) are delicious, earthy, sweet and aromatic. This beet is therefore not out of place as an ornamental plant, after all, your vegetable garden can also look beautiful?
