Sugar Beet Seeds - High Sucrose Root Vegetable - 1 Packet is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Grow your own sugar beets (Beta vulgaris var. saccharifera) with these full sun biennial vegetable seeds. Sugar beet is a unique beetroot plant that is exceptionally high in sucrose during its first year of growth. The long, sweet root can reach 1 foot long or more, and the sweet green tops can reach 2 feet tall. It is primarily grown as an annual to produce high-quality sugar, syrup, molasses, and wine. It also can be used as a nutritious leafy green vegetable, a microgreen crop, or a soil-improving ground cover that can be used to attract game or feed livestock.
- Grow Sugar in Cool Climates - This productive root crop is an excellent alternative to growing sugarcane for growers in temperate climates wanting to produce sugar naturally at home. The sweet, sucrose-rich syrup of these root vegetables can be extracted easily. Wash, peel, and shred or dice the beets. Boil pulp until tender. Reduce, cool, and strain the molasses (syrup). Allow the syrup to crystalize before pounding it into raw sugar powder.
- Heirloom Non-GMO Sugar Beets - Although sugar beets provide 30% of the world's sugar, commercially grown crops are often genetically modified. By growing this versatile crop from non-GMO, heirloom seeds, you can provide your family with a worry-free source of bulk sugar and molasses for long-term storage and emergency food supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
