If something is statutory, it is related to or set by laws or statutes. Statutory restrictions on air pollution require drivers to have the emissions from their cars checked every few years. You might wonder what the difference is between statutory and legal. Both are adjectives and both are concerned with the law.
Beets are a root vegetable with edible roots and greens. The almost entirely edible beetroot, or table beet, is a member of the vegetable food group. More specifically, itâs a root vegetable from the botanical family Chenopodiaceae, other members of which include sugar beets, spinach, Swiss chard and quinoa.
Beets (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) grow in clay soil, but, like most crops, grow best in a loose loam. These plants produce short, round root vegetables that crack in dry soil. Keep beet plants' soil moist but not wet by watering when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch.
