Heirloom from the 1700's. Very large white/yellow tapered roots and green silverbeet like leaves. Roots have an excellent flavour and smooth texture if eaten when young; good for soups, roasting and as a steamed vegetable. Leaves are tender and are used like spinach; good for stir-fries and as a steamed vegetable. Also known as Fodder Beet, Mangold, Mangel Beet and Field Beet. Also commonly grown as a fodder crop for animals. Best suited to cooler climates. Roots can grow in excess of 18kg but are much better eating when picked young.

I loved the name at first sight and we think that the leaves are better then spinach! The weird thing is that I had forgotten I had planted it!! and was thinking how I'd never seen spinach with a root like that before!!! Now I am going to try the root. Thank you. I am trying to give 5 stars.
