“Crimson Globe” typically refers to a variety of beet, known for its deep red, globe-shaped roots. This variety is prized for its sweet flavor and tender texture. Crimson Globe beets are medium-sized and have a uniform round shape, making them visually appealing and easy to prepare and cook.
In culinary use, Crimson Globe beets are versatile. They can be eaten raw in salads, where they add a vibrant color and sweet flavor, or they can be cooked — roasted, boiled, or steamed — which enhances their natural sweetness. They are often used in dishes like borscht, pickled, or served as a side dish.
Nutritionally, Crimson Globe beets are rich in vitamins and minerals, including folate, potassium, and manganese, and are a good source of fiber. They also contain natural pigments called betalains, which have been studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
In gardening, Crimson Globe beets are valued for their relatively easy cultivation and their resistance to common beet diseases. They are typically sown in well-draining soil and require regular watering. This variety is suitable for both spring and fall plantings, as beets generally prefer cooler temperatures.
