Avalanche Beet

‘Avalanche’ Beet is a 2015 AAS Winner known for its smooth, pure white roots and exceptionally mild, sweet flavor. Unlike many traditional beets, the roots have little to no earthy taste or bitter aftertaste, making them especially appealing for gardeners who prefer a sweeter beet.

Sow ‘Avalanche’ directly in the garden during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Plant seeds in loose, well-drained soil and keep the seedbed consistently moist while plants establish. Thin seedlings as they grow to give the developing roots enough room to size up evenly.

Harvest the round roots once they reach the desired size, while they are firm and tender. Younger roots offer an especially crisp texture, while larger roots remain well suited for cooking.

‘Avalanche’ beets are excellent for fresh eating, salads, roasting, and baking. The variety also offers strong disease resistance, helping provide dependable performance in the garden.
