Working with technician Nick Breitbach and their team, he spent years selecting and tasting roots to develop a beet with a different personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eShared through \u003cstrong\u003eRow 7 Seed Company\u003c\/strong\u003e, Badger Flame reflects the possibilities of breeding vegetables with flavor at the center. We grow these distinctive beets at Norwich Meadows Farm and offer them in a \u003cstrong\u003e5 lb box\u003c\/strong\u003e for salads, roasting, pickling, and everyday cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese are fresh beets for cooking and eating.

Raw, the flesh is firm and crisp; cooked, it becomes tender and its sweetness comes forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003ePair with lemon, orange, fresh herbs, goat cheese, yogurt, or toasted nuts.

Goldman’s team studied that characteristic while selecting roots for a milder flavor, combining laboratory work with the wonderfully practical business of tasting beets raw in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe result is an elongated beet with a vivid interior and a sweetness that needs very little dressing up. Row 7 helped bring the variety to more growers and cooks, connecting the work of plant breeding with what makes a vegetable worth eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 32px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eHow to Use Badger Flame Beets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eShave thinly into salads with citrus and fresh herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eCut into matchsticks for a crisp, colorful slaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eServe raw slices with goat cheese and toasted walnuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eQuick-pickle for sandwiches, salads, and grain bowls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eRoast in wedges with olive oil, salt, and thyme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSteam until tender and toss with a mustard vinaigrette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eServe roasted beets over yogurt with lemon and chopped herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 32px; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003eTry Them Raw First\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eBefore roasting the whole box, set aside a beet for a simple raw salad.
