Has anyone every heard of this? it suppose to be a giant beet, up to 30
lbs, and used mostly for cattle feed. I was trying to find a decent picture
of them but the only pics I found (3 on google) were out of focus. I was
planning of planting a couple of them mostly for a joke on my dad. Are the
edible? would you even want to try?


Mangels are delicious, and produce wonderful,
abundant greens. I have much better luck with them
than the red ball type.

I get mine he
