 🥬 Silverbeet – ‘Barese’ (Heirloom)
(Beta vulgaris)

Compact, tender, and fast-growing, Barese Silverbeet is a premium Italian heirloom prized for its glossy dark green leaves and crisp white stems. This dwarf variety forms neat, compact plants, making it perfect for small gardens, raised beds, and container growing. 

Barese is known for its mild, slightly sweet flavour and soft texture, ideal for harvesting young as baby leaves or allowing to mature for fuller bunches. Its cut‑and‑come‑again growth habit ensures a steady supply of fresh greens throughout the season. 

Versatile in the kitchen, it’s perfect for salads, stir‑fries, soups, and sautéed dishes—delivering both nutrition and flavour in every harvest.
