Albino Beet

B tier

Albino beets are white-fleshed table types that keep beet sweetness and a light earthy finish without betalain red or gold pigments—useful when cooks want beet texture in pale soups, purees, or plates that must stay colour-clean. Roots are typically round; flavour can read slightly milder and more sugar-forward than deep reds. They still share the species’ geosmin signature in a quieter register. Puree for ivory soups, roast with other pale roots, or pickle for translucent slices. Do not confuse with sugar beet, which is industrial and less table-friendly. Handle and store like any beet; white flesh can show soil stains more than red hides them.
