More than a fodder food. Mangels can also be grown for the family table. Harvest the roots at a young, tender age and prepare just like any other beet. Sliced, cooked, or eaten raw. Use the tasty greens as they are supremely tender, even as the roots swell, you can harvest yummy greens for several months. and get all the benefits possible from this versatile plant. Sow 1″ deep and 6″ apart in rows 2-3′ apart. Since each beet ‘seed’ holds up to 8 actual seeds, the seedlings will need to be thinned to 3 ” apart. Avg. 40,000 seeds/lb.

Wanted to show my Megatron Jalapeños they are huge! Just canned some cowboy candy! Great Jalapeño and true to the description! Will buy these again!
