You'd be surprised how many growers here love Golden Beet. Not only is it a
novelty at Farmers Markets, road-side stands etc., but restaurants love
using them because they don't bleed like red beets.
I even heard somewhere that many people have an allergy to the pigment in
red beets but have no problems eating golden & Albina.
By the way, if you're still having trouble finding Albina Vereduna beet, try
www.westcoastseeds.com Prices are in Canadian$ so don't be alarmed.
