Detailed Information

The beet, *Beta vulgaris*, including the variety ‘Zeppo’, is native to the **Mediterranean region of Europe and North Africa**.

While beets are now cultivated worldwide, their wild ancestors originated in that area. ‘Zeppo’ is a modern cultivar, developed through breeding programs, but its genetic heritage still ties it to the Mediterranean.
