beets are also perfectly good for eating. In the kitchen the beets are used to make traditional, hearty beet stews and the leaves can also be used, in the same way as chard.
In North-Western Germany beet juice has traditionally been used as a home remedy for coughs. The beet is hollowed out and filled to the brim with with brown rock sugar (a German speciality) then covered and left to infuse. After just 12 hours the first batch of beet juice will be ready to pour - and should be administered to the invalid in shot-sized doses three to four times a day.
In Ireland, beets and turnips rather than pumpkins were hollowed and given grinning faces for Halloween - though in fact these "Jack-o-lanterns" are a folk tradition dating back much further than our present-day Halloween customs.
Beta vulgaris var. rapacea seeds. Contents: approximately 100 Fodder Beet seeds.

Details: Plant description & care
Sowing & cultivation
The biennial fodder beet is traditionally grown as an annual. We recommend direct sowing outdoors, from mid-March to May. Sowing depth: 2-4 cm. Spacing: 25 cm between plants in a row and 40-50 cm between rows. At temperatures of 10-20°C the seed will germinate straightforwardly in 14 to 21 days. The plants prefer a sunny location and moderately heavy, moist soil.
Plant care: a steady water supply and regular weeding will boost growth. Fodder Beets need high nutrient levels, so they should be fed regularly, although too much nitrogen will impair their storability.
