Bull’s Blood Beetroot belongs in this baby leaf section because it is the fabulous leaf that is the primary reason for growing it rather than the root!
The bold deep burgundy colour and sweet flavour make it a stunning addition to your salads. You can take your first picking after about 5 weeks from sowing, and if you keep them moist they will resprout for a second salad cut.
Picking the leaves takes energy away from the root growth so that these are much slower to form and often will stay insignificant as you harvest the leaves. Any roots are dark red, well flavoured and can have an attractive striped interior; pull after 6 weeks or so lovely mini beets but they are very slow to put on any more bulk than this.
For the best beetroot roots take a look at the main beetroot section.
