Beneath its orange-red skin, the elongated root reveals brilliant golden flesh marked with irregular rings and streaks of orange and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most beets, Badger Flame was specifically developed to taste delicious raw. Its mild, carrot-like sweetness and crisp, juicy texture make it an exceptional choice for crudités, salads, slaws, and thinly sliced raw preparations. It is equally delicious roasted, grilled, glazed, or pickled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Do Badger Flame Beets Taste Like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadger Flame beets are unusually sweet, mild, and crisp, with far less of the strong earthy flavor associated with conventional beets. Raw, they have a juicy crunch and clean, almost carrot-like sweetness. Cooking softens their texture and deepens their natural sugars while preserving their gentle flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an excellent beet for people who normally find traditional red beets too earthy or intense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Are They Different?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadger Flame was developed by plant breeder Dr. Irwin Goldman and his team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Through repeated selection, they reduced the compounds responsible for the earthiness and astringency commonly found in beets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe variety was bred with chefs and fresh eating in mind. Its elongated shape is easy to slice and process, while its vivid flame-like interior brings striking color to both raw and cooked dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Badger Flame Beets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlice thinly and serve raw with citrus, olive oil, and flaky salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut into sticks for crudités and vegetable platters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShave or grate into salads and slaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast whole or cut into wedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaze with butter, honey, maple, or vinegar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrill or char for a lightly smoky flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-pickle for sandwiches, salads, and composed plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with yogurt, goat cheese, ricotta, citrus, herbs, or toasted nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skin is tender when the beets are young, although peeling will reveal their brightest interior color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Gives Badger Flame Beets Their Mild Flavor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe familiar earthy flavor of beets comes largely from a naturally occurring compound called geosmin. Badger Flame was carefully selected for lower levels of geosmin, giving it a cleaner, sweeter flavor that is particularly enjoyable raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Badger Flame beets are harvested to order and shipped via \u003cstrong\u003eovernight delivery nationwide\u003c\/strong\u003e.
