Beet Touchstone Gold Seeds
Golden beets with smooth texture
Beet Touchstone Gold seeds produce brilliant golden beets known for their smooth texture, mild sweetness, and vibrant color that remains bright when cooked. This variety offers uniform, round roots that are less earthy than traditional red beets, making them appealing to a wide range of palates. The tender greens are equally delicious and can be harvested young for salads or allowed to grow for sautéing.
Touchstone Gold thrives in full sun and loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter, producing consistent results when planted in either spring or fall. Gardeners love this variety for its reliable germination, beautiful presentation, and versatility in the kitchen—perfect for roasting, pickling, steaming, or adding to fresh dishes.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
