What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow your own natural sugar supply with these Heirloom Sugar Beet Seeds (Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera). This versatile biennial vegetable thrives in full sun and cooler climates, producing large, sucrose-rich roots up to 12 inches long and leafy tops reaching 2 feet tall. Sugar beets are primarily grown as an annual for making high-quality sugar, syrup, molasses, and even homemade wine, but they also serve as nutritious greens, protein-rich livestock feed, or a soil-building ground cover for gardeners and homesteaders alike.

Naturally Sweet and Highly Productive

  • Excellent alternative to sugarcane for cooler climates
  • Yields sweet, high-sucrose roots ideal for syrup or sugar production
  • Dual-purpose crop: edible greens and productive roots
  • Improves soil quality and attracts beneficial wildlife

Why Customers Love Sugar Beet Seeds

  • Heirloom and Non-GMO: Pure, traditional seed stock for peace of mind
  • Self-Sufficiency Friendly: Produce your own sugar and molasses at home
  • High Yield Potential: Deep roots and large leafy tops for multiple uses
  • Versatile Applications: Great for gardeners, homesteaders, and livestock keepers

How to Grow

  • Planting: Sow directly in loose, well-drained soil after the last frost. Space seeds 3–4 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart.
  • Sunlight & Water: Prefers full sun and moderate, consistent watering. Avoid overwatering once roots begin to form.
  • Harvest: Harvest roots when they reach 3–4 inches in diameter, typically in late summer or early fall. Tops can be harvested for greens earlier.

How to Make Sugar or Syrup from Beets

  • Wash, peel, and shred or dice the roots.
  • Boil until tender, then reduce and strain the pulp.
  • Allow the liquid to cool and crystalize into natural sugar or continue reducing for molasses.
