The size of a beet root varies, ranging from 1 to 4 inches in diameter, depending on maturity.
Here's a breakdown of typical beet root sizes:
- Baby Beets: These are harvested early and are generally 1 to 1½ inches in diameter.
- Mature Beets: These beets are harvested later in the growing season and average 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Therefore, the exact size of a beet root depends on when it is harvested.
