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.

Everything you ever need for a garden and then some
I had heard about Berlin Seeds from Cody and Michelle watching More Than Farmers. I'm so grateful they told us all about the company. I bought for the first time in early this February and have had such success with my veggie plants. More than I ever have in my 5 years of gardening. I will continue to buy from y'all.
