Beet - Detroit Dark Red Seeds: The Ultimate Heirloom Beet for Your Garden

Grow vibrant, sweet, and nutritious beets with Detroit Dark Red Beet Seeds—the most popular heirloom variety for home gardens. Known for their striking dark-red flesh and deep, sweet flavor, these beets are a must-have for any gardener looking to add color and nutrition to their harvest.

Why Choose Detroit Dark Red Beet Seeds?

These open-pollinated, non-GMO heirloom seeds produce perfectly round beets, reaching up to 3" in diameter. Harvest them early for tender baby beets or let them mature for larger roots packed with flavor. The dark green tops with red stems are just as delicious—use them as microgreens, baby leaf, or mature greens for salads and cooking.

Easy to Grow & Versatile

Detroit Dark Red Beets thrive in cooler temperatures, making them ideal for spring and fall planting. Each packet contains 150 seeds, enough to plant a 15' row with 60 plants. Expect germination in 14-21 days and a harvest-ready crop in just 60 days.

Nutritional Powerhouse

Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, these beets offer unique health benefits. Their rich red color comes from betalain pigments, which support eye health, reduce inflammation, and aid detoxification. Plus, they’re a great source of manganese, vitamin C, folate, potassium, and fiber.

How to Enjoy Your Harvest

From raw to roasted, Detroit Dark Red Beets are incredibly versatile. Shred them into salads, juice them for a nutrient boost, or pickle them for a tangy treat. Don’t forget the greens—sauté them like spinach or add them to soups for extra flavor and nutrition.
