The unique taste of ‘Avalanche’—2015 AAS Vegetable Award Winner—can’t be beat. Hefty, rounded, white-fleshed 2-3" beet champion, offers rich, sweet flavor, free of earthy notes. For a deep, aromatic, profoundly delicious gourmet surprise, roast these beauties: cut them into wedges, add oil, bake till fork-tender, and sprinkle with salt. Amazing. Easy-growing ‘Avalanche’ delivers a big harvest and tip-top garden performance. Resistant to the leaf spot; will survive a bit of frost. Direct-sow seeds in spring, late summer, or early fall. In regions with mild falls and springs, sow every 3-4 weeks for a prolonged season of sweet white beet nirvana.
