Mangelwurzel Mammoth Red

£4.50

A viral growing sensation on social media – we are huge fans of this forgotten heirloom that looks rather like Harry Potter’s mandrakes! Halfway between sugar beet and beetroot this easy to grow, giant veg is delicious mashed, roasted or pickled. Sweeter and less earthy than a beetroot it will sit for a long time in the field where it will also provide abundant greens.
