Beetroot : Bull's Blood v Cylindra

We have lifted a few more spuds for the weekend and thinned out some more carrots and beetroot.

We will have the carrots raw with a bowl of garlicky aiioli dip.

Some of the beetroot will be cooked Indian style in a thoran and the rest will be pickled.

The globe shaped Bull's Blood has a more pinker flesh than the long roots of Cylindra and seems to be a bit more tastier when freshly boiled. However, the Cylindra is more sweeter and the dark red flesh looks nicer when pickled.
