Grow sweet, tender beets at home with our premium Detroit Dark Red Beet Seeds. Detroit Dark Red is a classic heirloom variety known for producing smooth, deep red globes with sweet flesh and vigorous, edible greens.

Perfect for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and cool-season planting, Detroit Dark Red beets are a reliable choice for home gardeners looking for dual-purpose harvests of roots and greens. Fresh beets are excellent for roasting, pickling, salads, soups, and juicing.
