Its coppery-orange skin hides flesh of a brilliant solar yellow — hence the name — with a noticeably milder, sweeter, less earthy flavour than that of its red cousin. And above all, it doesn't stain anything: not your fingers, not the cutting board, not the salad you slip it into raw, finely grated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrated raw with a drizzle of lemon and olive oil, roasted whole in the oven then peeled by hand, marinated in mustard, or laid out in thin slices in a carpaccio alongside goat cheese — the golden beet is the darling of seasonal cooking because it's pretty, versatile, and preserves the colours of the ingredients around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't forget the tops — tender, mild, to be cooked like spinach or Swiss chard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrower's tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each beet \"seed\" is a glomerule containing several seeds — sow less densely than you think, and thin early. The golden one has a reputation for a more capricious germination rate than red beets — soak the seeds 4 to 6 hours in warm water before sowing to give emergence a boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-pollinated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows in ~55-60 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop height: 30 to 40 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturity: 50 to 65 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure: full sun.

Direct-sow as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, then a new wave in mid-July for a fall harvest.
