When planting beets for canning or pickling I like the variety Detroit Dark Beets and for a new twist we tried Albino Beets last season. They were a great success, though grown side by side in the garden the Detroit beets outgrew the Albino beets by a bit.
Pictured are canned Albino Beets. For a great recipe, try Mum's Old Fashion Beet Pickles. You can use the recipe to pickle any beet variety.
