The Toad Beetroot is distinguished by the appearance of its black, cracked skin, reminiscent of a black winter radish. Its red, sweet, and firm flesh is of excellent taste.
Toadstool Beetroot can be eaten raw, grated in vinaigrette or cooked in salads.

Successful sowing of Crapaudine beetroot

Thin out every 20 cm to encourage the growth of the most vigorous plants.
Regular hoeing and weeding are essential. Water regularly to promote uniform growth and prevent bolting.
Mulch in case of drought.
