Changes in quality of selected red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) cultivars during the growing season

Abstract

Red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) may be consumed at all stages of growth, both in the form of small early vegetable during spring and later, during winter, when stored. Therefore, knowledge of the dynamics of changes in the content of individual components in subsequent stages of growth is very important.
