Beetroot Forono

The perfect storage beet, with a very sweet and mild taste. Cylindrical shape and therefore easy to slice. Forono produces well and evenly, thin to one decimeter between the plants for optimal development. Likes humus-rich and moist soil. For storage, the beets are harvested in September-October. Young tender leaves can be used and cooked like chard.
