This garden performer produces 3" round, snow white-fleshed beets that are very sweet and mild. Excellent for eating raw or cooking alongside other beet varieties. Avalanche does not stain. Direct sow the seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring or in late summer for multiple harvests. Healthy tops have good resistance to disease and also have an excellent sweet flavour. An All-American Selection (AAS) award winning variety.
