In Stardew Valley, players are enchanted by the wide selection of crops, fruits, and vegetables that closely resemble their real-life counterparts. The game offers a dynamic farming experience by providing a variety of crops that change with the seasons. One of these seasonal vegetables is Beets.
As a Fall vegetable, Beets are recognized for their vibrant, deep red color and delightful, earthy sweetness. They are primarily cultivated for their fleshy roots, which can be enjoyed both cooked and raw. When consumed in its raw form, Beets offer players a subtle boost to their energy and health levels. This guide outlines the steps players can take to successfully grow nutrient-rich Beets on their farm in Stardew Valley.
How to Grow Beets in Stardew Valley
In order to cultivate Beets, players must acquire special Beet Seeds. Unfortunately, these seeds are not available for purchase at Pierre's General Store or JojaMart. Instead, players can buy Beet Seeds from Sandy at The Oasis Shop in the Desert for 20 g, or they can find them at the Traveling Cart where prices range from 100 to 1,000 gold. Another option is to search the treasure rooms in The Skull Cavern, where players may discover five to twenty hidden Beet Seeds.
To successfully grow Beets, players should plant the seeds in the Fall season. Once planted, the seeds will take 6 days to mature and develop into fully grown Beets, ready for harvesting. Each harvest yields one Beet.
Uses of Beets in Stardew Valley
Beets can be sold to make decent money in Stardew Valley. The price depends on the quality of the Beet.
Crop | Base Sell Price | Silver Quality | Gold Quality | Iridium Quality |
Beet | 100 g | 125 g | 150 g | 200 g |
For players who have chosen the Tiller Profession, the price of Beets increases by 10%.
To derive the utmost benefit from the delightful and rich-flavored Beets, they can be transformed into Sugar through the utilization of a Mill. Each Beet yields 3 Sugars, which can enhance a wide range of delectable desserts.
Besides, Beets play a crucial role in the preparation of a nourishing Vegetable Medley. This dish necessitates the inclusion of 1 Beet and 1 Tomato. Furthermore, 10 Beets are indispensable for fulfilling the requirements of the second phase in the “The Mysterious Qi” quest.
Beets make a great gift for most villagers in Pelican Town, except for Abigail, Sam, Vincent, Jas, and Haley, as they dislike them. Additionally, a Beet may be needed to fulfill a remixed Dye Bundle on the Community Centre's Bulletin Board. When used in the dye pots at Haley and Emily's house, Beets can provide purple dye. You can play Stardew Valley on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
