Sow directly into the ground from May to early July for a summer harvest, or in mid-June for a fall harvest. Plant seeds 1 cm deep, space plants 8 cm apart, and leave 30 to 40 cm between rows. Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and prevent roots from becoming woody.
Harvest the roots when they are half their size to enjoy their tenderness and optimal flavor. Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads, while mature leaves are prepared like spinach.
Add 'Taunus' beetroot to your vegetable garden for generous harvests and a mild, sweet flavour that will enrich your dishes all season long.
