Golden beets just got sweeter. From Sativa Rheinau in Switzerland, Wintersonne brightens up the plate and lights up the palate with its royally gold, sugary flesh. An all-round kitchen superstar but the sweet earthy tones are ideal for grating raw into salads for some extra crunch, similar to a carrot. These rapidly growing, uniform, globe-shaped beets adorn rich burnt-orange skin, yet on the inside showcase a delicate display of sunshine yellow and cloudy white concentric rings. Robust, resilient and adaptable to different soil types.
