100 rare 'Crapaudine' beetroot seeds - as featured on BBC's Masterchef, and used by Michelin starred chef Tommy Banks.

Here's your chance to grow this rare heritage vegetable - regarded by the finest chefs as the tastiest beetroot there is!  

Each root can weigh well over 500g, so a few plants is all you are likely to need.  They are renowned for storing well over winter.

Easy to grow, these seeds can be sown from March to August, and later showings can be left to overwinter in the ground with a little protection.   

Crapaudine is believed to be the earliest domesticated variety of beetroot, dating back 1000 years. 'Crapaudine' is the French word for a female toad - which refers to the skin of the root, which is like the skin of a toad or the bark of a tree.

It'll win no prizes for beauty, but this beet is a rarity in the garden, a talking point at your allotment, and a treat in the kitchen!
