The sugar beet has a conical, white, fleshy root (a taproot) with a flat crown. The plant consists of the large tap root and a rosette of green leaves. Sugar is formed through a process of photosynthesis in the leaves, and it is then stored in the root as natural sucrose. The root of the sugar beet contains 75% water, about 20% sugar, and 5% veggie pulp. Latin Name: Beta vulgaris Net weight: 1/2 gram Biennial (two years of growth and then flowers). About 100 days to picking size. Full sun. All zones in USA. Grows to up to one foot long and weighs in at three to five pounds each. A hardy grower, cold tolerant and can thrive in sun or partial shade and it doesn't require a lot of water. Beets have a high tolerance for lousy soil. The Sugar Beet is the ultimate versatile crop, and can be enjoyed as a sweet root vegetable, or its leafy greens can be harvested and consumed as well like chard or spinach, or... It can be processed for table sugar! Sugar Beet roots are not a typical beet like store-bought reds, being a long, white, tapered tap root. Sugar beets are often regarded as one of the best crops for a small family sustainable farm. The US government encourage all American farmers to grow sugar beets during WWII. How to Make real Organic Sugar from homegrown Sugar Beets: Once harvested, separate the green tops from the beet 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 one hour will extract the sugar and reduce the beet material to mush. Boiling times may vary based on the size of your cubes and toughness of the beets. Once boiled down, beet pulp is strained through a cheese cloth. 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, or, 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.
