FORTUNA is a mid-season table beet variety, distinguished by its neat rosette of oval dark green leaves and a beautiful round dark red rootstock. Fruit mass varies from 200 to 340 grams, while the flesh has a rich dark red hue. This variety combines the rare quality of rapid maturity and good storage life, allowing it to be used both for early consumption and long-term storage. FORTUNA is suitable for growing bunch crops and is recommended for mass harvesting in September, before the onset of frost.
FORTUNA beet has excellent taste qualities and is versatile in application: it can be consumed fresh, boiled, frozen, canned, and used for making salads. Due to its high content of B vitamins, carotene, pantothenic and folic acids, as well as macro- and micro-elements, this vegetable is especially beneficial for people with cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, metabolic disorders, anemia, and diabetes.
Growing the FORTUNA variety does not require special efforts: seeds are recommended to be planted at a depth of 2-3 cm in fertile soil, regularly watered and loosened. Beets tolerate transplantation well, which allows using thinned plants for additional planting. Thanks to these qualities and versatility of application, FORTUNA is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to obtain a high-quality and nutritious table beet harvest.
