Bull's blood beets are a rare French heirloom variety of beet from the 1840's. Bull's blood beets are crunchy, tender, and have a sweet, nutty flavor. The leaves, with deep red stems and bi-petal green with a eye catching red vein, are rich in antioxidants and can be used in salads, or sauteed for an added bonus. The beautifully ringed beets can range in size from a golf ball to a baseball.
