• A Danish heirloom, Beetroot Cylindra as its name suggests is a cylindrical beetroot
• Smooth-skinned with dark purple-red flesh, it grows a dark red, elongated root 7 to 10cm (6 to 8in) long
• Its cylindrical shape makes it a cook’s darling, as it’s super easy to cut into uniform pieces
• The shape of the roots also makes it easier to plant in smaller gardens or allotments, as the plants take up less space
