Beetroot ‘Detroit Globe’ stands as a time-tested main crop variety that continues to exhibit excellent performance. Originating from Northern Africa and Western Asia, beetroot has served as a food plant for over 2000 years. The Romans introduced beetroot to Northern Europe, while the Celts cultivated a white beetroot variant (Beta rapa). The mention of Red Beetroot first appeared in the 13th century in northern Italy. However, it wasn’t until the 17th century that red beetroot emerged as the predominant type in Europe.
