Enrico Biancardi, Leonard W. Panella and Robert T. Lewellen: Beta maritima: The Origin of Beets

Along the undisturbed shores, especially of the Mediterranean Sea and the European North Atlantic Ocean, is a widespread plant called Beta maritima by the botanists, or more commonly sea beet. Indeed it is considered the mother of all cultivated beet crops, and recent research has confirmed the lineage.

Selection applied after domestication has created many cultivated types with different uses. The wild plant has always been harvested and used both for food and as a medicinal herb.

This makes its use as a reservoir of traits partly lost during domestication, because the selection process aimed only at increasing the features useful to farmers and consumers. Indeed, as with several crop wild relatives possible and Beta maritima has been used successfully to improve the genetic resistances against diseases and pests.

Juice of the white beet was said to clear obstructions of the liver and spleen[]. Culpepper recommended it for treating headache and vertigo as well as all affections of the brain[]. Beets grow well in a variety of soils, growing best in a deep, friable well-drained soil abundant with organic matter, but doing poorly on clay. They prefer an open position and a light well-drained soil[52].

Beet is reported to tolerate an annual precipitation of 23 to cm, an average annual temperature range of 5. This is the wild beetroot of coastal areas. The cultivated beetroot, sugar beet, seakale beet and Swiss chard have all been developed from this species by means of selective breeding[1, 5].
