Boltardy beetroot is a popular variety of beetroot that has a sweet, tender flesh and vibrant red color. It is typically harvested when the roots are still small, at around 2-3 inches in diameter. This variety of beetroot is easy to grow and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. One of the main advantages of Boltardy beetroot is its resistance to bolting, which means it is less likely to go to seed prematurely, making it an excellent choice. The roots have a sweet, earthy flavor and a firm, yet tender texture, making them a versatile ingredient in a variety of dishes. They can be roasted, boiled, pickled, or grated raw into salads. Boltardy beetroot is also a great source of nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
