Share Notes
- Beets, Cylindra: A wonderful heirloom from Denmark, this beet was made for slicing. The unique and long cylindrical beet produces much more uniform slices than round beets. They can be peeled raw like a carrot, or roasted whole and used as you would any other beet.
- Carrots: Enjoy both the large orange Bolero carrots, and the Purple Dragon carrots with their vibrant reddish-purple exterior and bright orange beneath the surface. Both types have a sweet and delicious flavor.
