Bulls Blood Beet Root Seeds

Papaw’s Garden Supply: Helping The Next Generation To Grow With Nature.

Bull's Blood beets have purplish-red roots, stems, and leaves. Bull's Blood beets display colorful circular striations of pink and magenta when sliced. The globular, cabernet-colored roots are topped by stems the color of rhubarb, which flow into the leaves. The color of the leaves intensifies with the plant's maturity. The roots are best when between 5 and 8 centimeters in diameter. Young Bull's Blood beets are tender with a rich, earthy, sweet flavor. The leaves are also sweet when young, becoming increasingly bitter with age. Bull's Blood beets are a multipurpose variety of beet; they are grown first for their greens, with their roots harvested as a secondary crop. They are also sometimes marketed as "ornamental beets" for their intense red foliage.
