Beetroot (چقندر) produces round, deep-red roots with tender, edible leaves. It thrives in cool to mild weather, full sunlight, and grows well in 8–10-inch pots or garden beds with loose, well-drained soil. This easy-to-grow vegetable is rich in nutrients and is perfect for salads, juices, and cooking. Cultivated since ancient times, it was originally grown for its leafy greens before the root became popular.
