Sugar beets are round, conical, to elongated, tapered roots, averaging 10 to 12 centimeters in diameter, and may have an irregular appearance due to varied soil and growing conditions. The skin is rough, cream-colored, and firm, attached to slender, leathery, and edible green tops that average thirty-five centimeters in length. Underneath the surface of the root, the flesh is crisp, dense, and ivory to white. Sugar beets, when raw, have a semi-bitter flavor and once cooked, the flesh softens and develops a very sweet, bland taste
