Beta vulgaris (Beetroot) Guardsmark is a special and visually appealing beet variety of the well-known Chioggia type. This improved elite selection from Tonda di Chioggia is distinguished by its uniform growth, strong color contrasts, and refined taste. With its striking red-and-white striped flesh, Guardsmark is not only a flavorful vegetable but also a real eye-catcher in the kitchen and on the plate.
What makes this beet truly unique is its decorative flesh. When cut open, distinct concentric rings of red and white appear, creating a spectacular visual effect. Compared to older Chioggia varieties, Guardsmark has stronger contrast and a more uniform pattern.
The tubers are beautifully round and uniform in shape, contributing to a consistent and attractive harvest. This makes this beet particularly suitable for culinary presentations and creative dishes.
In addition to its appearance, Guardsmark distinguishes itself by its taste. This beet is milder and sweeter than traditional red beet varieties. This makes it very suitable for raw applications, such as in salads or as carpaccio.
The mild, sweet taste makes this beet accessible to a wide audience, including those who appreciate the earthy taste of regular red beets less. Naturally, it can also be boiled, roasted, or pickled.
The Guardsmark beet grows relatively quickly and is ready for harvest approximately 60 to 70 days after sowing. This makes it possible to enjoy a fresh harvest within a short time.
The sowing period runs from April through July, allowing you to realize multiple crops per season. By sowing in phases, you can spread the harvest and harvest fresh beets over a longer period.
Although this beet is often used fresh due to its beautiful appearance, it also stores well. Beets harvested in the autumn, in particular, have excellent storage quality. This allows you to enjoy this special vegetable even after the season.
Guardsmark is sown directly in open ground. Sow thinly in rows and take the desired application into account.
To grow beet tubers, maintain a row spacing of 25 to 40 cm and approximately 10 cm between plants in the row. If necessary, you can thin out later to create sufficient space.
If you want to use the crop as cut-and-come-again lettuce (young leaves), you can sow more densely: 15 to 20 cm between rows and sow continuously within the row at approximately 10 cm intervals. After emergence, thin out to one plant per spot.
Beets grow best in a sunny location in well-drained and nutritious soil. Even watering is important to promote good tuber formation and a good taste.
Thanks to the strong characteristics of this variety, it is easy to grow and suitable for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
The Guardsmark beet is a true culinary surprise. Its color and flavor make it perfect for salads, carpaccio, and other cold dishes. It retains its character even in hot preparations, although the rings fade slightly when cooked.
In addition, the young leaves can also be harvested and used as a healthy leafy vegetable.
Beta vulgaris (Beetroot) Guardsmark (1,000 seeds) is a unique and flavorful beet variety that excels in both appearance and taste. With its striking red and white rings, mild sweet flavor, and ease of cultivation, this variety is a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.
