Bull’s Blood or Blood Turnip Beet 
Beta vulgaris
            This is one of the most popular of all the 18th century beets and its full history is described in Dr. Weaver’s Heirloom Vegetable Gardening. Widely grown in colonial America, the beets are round and when cooked exude thick, blood-like juice.  Perfect for smoothies! Best of all, the leafy tops can be cooked like spinach.  30 seeds Germination 92% Lot JLH-BB BET012
