Growing Beetroot, also Beets

View the Beetroot page

I bought a salad leaf mix last year and the only plant that remained was the beet leaf. I have since moved house and planted the beet out into the garden where it has taken off in a big way. My question is: Will this plant produce an edible beet root, or has it been bred specifically as a salad crop?
