BUYERS NOTES
Visually stunning, with dark purple leaves and stems, ‚Morello‚ forms a dark purple root with purple-red flesh and distinctive white rings. This is a no-waste, eat-all beetroot - enjoy the leaves and stems as well as the root. Its compact growing habit makes it ideal for the smaller vegetable plot.
Sowing Information:
Sow thinly outdoors, 13mm (¬Ωin) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart. Sow at 2-3 week intervals. Also ideal in patio containers.
Growing Information:
Thin seedlings as necessary, to 2.5cm (1in) apart for ‚baby beets‚ or slightly wider spacing for larger roots. Keep well watered for most tender roots and to avoid bolting (running to seed). Roots, stems and leaves can be eaten raw or steamed when young.
Aftercare Information:
SERVING SUGGESTION: Larger roots are ideal for baking or slicing raw into stir-fries. Shoots when young can be eaten like spinach and are rich in beta-carotene, calcium, iron and folic acid. Roots contain beta-cyanin and are a good source of manganese, a mineral needed for proper bone formation and energy metabolism.
