Cultivate Heirloom Beets - Plant Sugar Beet Seeds

That's right, the name does't lie--sugar beets can give you sugar! A hardy grower, cold tolerant and can thrive in sun or partial shade and, surprisingly for a "sweet" veggie, doesn't require a lot of water. Beets even have a high tolerance for low fertility soil. The Sugar Beet is the ultimate versatile crop, as it can be enjoyed as a sweet root vegetable, leafy greens can be harvested and consumed as well, and of course it can be processed for sugar!

Sugar Beet roots are not a typical beet, being a very large white and tapered root. Largely regarded as one of the best crops for your "sustainable" farm.

How to Make Sugar from Beets:

Once harvested, separate greens from roots. Beets should be thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed with a stiff brush. Sugar beets should then be cubed or shredded with a food processor, then boiled in a large pot with just enough water to cover the beet material. Boiling the beets for about 1 hour will extract the sugar and beet material should be mushy, boiling times may vary based on the size of your cubes and toughness of the beets. Once boiled down, beet pulp should be strained from the liquid through a cheesecloth. Beet pulp can be wrung in the cheese cloth to get the maximum amount of moisture out of the pulp. Sometimes double straining may be necessary to make sure all beet pulp is removed from the liquid--this is necessary or your finished product will not store well. The remaining liquid now needs to be boiled again and reduced down to your desired viscosity. Liquid can be boiled all the way down until crystals form, but reducing to a kind of syrup can also be effective. This process of reducing can take several hours, depending on how much liquid you started with and the starting sugar content of your crop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size and quality can I expect?

Bulb size and seed quantity vary by variety and package option. The available size, weight, or count is shown on each product listing. If an item arrives damaged, incorrect, or unsuitable for its intended season, contact support within 30 days of delivery so we can review the issue.

When should I plant?

Timing depends on what you're growing and your USDA hardiness zone. Spring-planted bulbs (like dahlias) go in after your last frost date, while fall-planted bulbs (tulips, daffodils, lilies, crocosmia) go in 2–6 weeks before the ground freezes. Most flower and vegetable seeds are sown after your last frost date, while many wildflower and perennial seeds can also be direct-sown in fall or early spring. Check each product's planting season and hardiness zone details for variety-specific guidance, or find your zone at planthardiness.ars.usda.gov.

How many seeds are in a packet, ounce, or pound?

Seed count varies a lot by variety, since seed size differs — a packet of large seeds (like beans) holds far fewer than a packet of tiny seeds (like poppies). Each product page shows the exact packet, ounce, or pound options available for that variety.

How should I store unused seeds?

Keep unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark place, ideally in a sealed, airtight container. Storing them in the refrigerator (not the freezer) helps preserve viability for the longest shelf life. Most flower and vegetable seeds stay viable for 2–5 years when stored this way, though germination rates naturally decline over time.

How long does shipping take?

In-stock seeds, mixes, and supplies generally require 2–4 business days for handling. Preordered bulbs, tubers, and roots ship according to the destination climate and planting season. The available shipping rate and delivery estimate are shown at checkout, and tracking is emailed when available.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing?

Business and bulk-order options may be available for eligible products and destinations. Contact support with the product list, quantities, destination, and business information to request current availability and terms. Any approved pricing and payment terms will be confirmed in writing before purchase.

Do you ship internationally?

Available destinations depend on the product and applicable agricultural restrictions. Enter the delivery address at checkout to see whether shipping is available and to review the applicable rate before purchase.

Can I combine multiple discount codes?

Only one discount code can be applied per order. If you have more than one code, use whichever gives you the best savings at checkout.

Can I place an order by phone or email?

We don't take orders by phone, but we're happy to help by email — send your list of items to support@nuviaseed.com and we'll send you a checkout link. Once you confirm everything looks right, you can complete payment and we'll get your order on its way.
