Beet tops are an excellent source of vitamin A and the roots are a good source of vitamin C. The tops are cooked or served fresh as greens and the roots may be pickled for salads or cooked whole, then sliced or diced.
One ounce sows a 100 foot row and feeds a family of five. Sow seed 2 inches apart, 1 inch deep, in rows no closer than 12 inches apart. Beets can be planted as soon as the grounds can be worked in Spring to August.
