Beets are most often grown for their edible, fleshy
root. Most are round or oval, but there are some types that
are long and cylindrical. The root color is usually a deep
magenta or purple-red; white and gold cultivars also exist.
Beet and radish roots are similar in shape, but beets are
usually larger and deeper in color than radishes.
