Beetroot 'Cylindra'

 

Tall, elongated beetroot which resembles something a little bit rude. We like to sow them alongside faster-maturing globe types like Wintersonne. We harvest the globe beetroot first and leave Cylindra for autumn harvests and winter storage. It's our go-to for pickled beetroot because the elongated shape makes for beautifully even slices.

• Sow: April-July, can be sown in modules or direct
• Plant: 4 weeks after sowing.
• Harvest: June-October
• Kitchen: Roast or boil. Pairs well with spices (cinnamon, chili, cumin), acid (lemon, balsamic vinegar), fats (goats cheese, feta, walnuts, pinenuts, hazelnuts, pecans), salty (capers, olives), aromatics (mint, parsley, dill, fennel, thyme).
