Cylindra Beet

55 days — 'Cylindra' beets, also known as 'Butter Slicer' and 'Formanova', are sweet, tender, and smooth skinned with small, edible, reddish green tops. This Danish variety, as its name suggests, produces a beet that is elongated, reaching four to eight inches in length, making it ideal for slicing. As a slicer, it produces many more uniform slices than standard globe-shaped varieties. Each packet contains four grams which is approximately 200 seeds. Each ounce is about 620 seeds.
