600 Cylindra Beet Seeds – Organic Non-GMO Heirloom, 14 g Bulk by Generic

Overview

Discover 600 Cylindra beet seeds from Generic — an organic, non-GMO, heirloom variety designed for productive home gardens. This seed lot yields long, slender roots that are easier to slice and peel than many round beets, making weeknight prep simpler and more consistent.

Because the Cylindra roots grow longer rather than wider, you can plant them closer together to maximize your harvest in smaller spaces. The greens that accompany the roots are sweeter than many other beet varieties and add color and nutrition to salads and sautés.

Growing, maturity, and care

Expect about 60 days to maturity in moderate conditions, with good results in zones 3 through 10. The 14 g packet provides a practical starting point for a defined beet bed or as a supplement to a larger crop. As they develop, these roots often push slightly above the soil surface, a natural trait of this cultivar.

• 60 days to harvest in favorable conditions
• Long roots stay intact for even slicing
• Leaves can be harvested as sweet greens for salads

Kitchen uses and preservation

In the kitchen, Cylindra beets shine fresh from the garden, and they can be canned or pickled with consistent slices. When dried, their sweetness becomes a pantry friendly snack. The greens add vibrant color and a mild leafy flavor to meals.

• Excellent for canning or pickling due to easy slicing
• Leaves offer sweet, tender greens for salads and sides
• Drying preserves flavor and extends storage

Why choose Cylindra for space conscious gardens

If space is tight, Cylindra beets help you maximize every square foot. Plant closer than you would with round varieties, and you’ll enjoy more roots in the same footprint. The uniform, elongated shape also cooks evenly and supports portion control.

As an organic heirloom option, these seeds celebrate heritage while offering practicality for home gardeners and small farms. Each packet contains approximately half an ounce of seed (about 14 g), enough to start a dedicated beet bed or to rotate with greens.

Whether you are building a sustainable garden or growing fresh produce for weekly meals, Cylindra beet seeds from Generic offer a reliable starting point.
