Albino
Silky and luminous, Albino beets emerge with a clean, pale-white root that feels tender and refined—sweet, mild, and pleasantly earthy. The flesh is crisp and uniform, holding a smooth, velvety texture that shines when roasted, steamed, or sliced fresh for salads, and it also performs beautifully for pickling and vibrant color-contrast preparations. With about 55 days to maturity, Albino is a satisfying, quick-growing choice for gardeners who want an elegant, standout white beet from the first harvest onward.
