Cylindra\/Formanova Beetroot is a distinctive Danish heirloom, prized for its long, cylindrical roots and excellent eating quality. Unlike traditional round beetroot, its unusual shape makes it especially easy to slice into even, attractive pieces.<\/p>\n

The roots have deep red flesh with a tender, sweet texture, making this a particularly enjoyable variety for the kitchen. Its fine texture has earned it the alternative names \u2018Butter Slicer\u2019 and \u2018Cook\u2019s Delight\u2019, reflecting its reputation as an excellent beetroot for slicing and cooking.<\/p>\n

A wonderful choice for gardeners who enjoy growing unusual and heritage vegetables, Cylindra\/Formanova combines attractive appearance with superb flavour. The long roots are also practical to prepare, giving you neat, consistent slices for salads, roasting, pickling and other dishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
