Beetroot Cylindra produces distinctive cylindrical roots around 10cm/4in long, giving plenty of neat, even slices and making particularly efficient use of kitchen garden space. The deep-coloured flesh has a deliciously sweet flavour and the plants have good resistance to bolting. Harvest the tender roots for salads, roasting and pickling, or store mature roots for enjoying later in the season.
