Beet Seeds - Detroit Dark Red Beet
Description
The classic American beet. ‘Detroit Dark Red’ is the standard of quality for home and market gardens, producing globe-shaped roots with deep, uniform crimson flesh and a smooth texture. Its flavor is rich and balanced—sweet when roasted, earthy and full when boiled or pickled.

Introduced in 1892 by D.M. Ferry & Co. of Detroit, this heirloom quickly became the nation’s benchmark for beet flavor and dependability. Reliable, adaptable, and delicious—‘Detroit Dark Red’ is the beet that defines the garden staple.
