Beet Lutz Green Leaf seeds produce large, long-storing beets known for their deep red roots, excellent keeping quality, and abundant nutrient-rich greens. This heirloom variety is prized for its impressive size without becoming woody, making it especially valuable for fall harvests and winter storage.

Their robust roots maintain a smooth texture and sweet flavor, even when grown to larger sizes. Gardeners appreciate this dependable beet for its cold tolerance, long harvest window, and versatility in soups, roasts, and fermenting.
