Can you spot the odd one out? I'm guessing there was a stray seed in the pack, but heck if I know what it is. The leaves are the same as beetroot leaves (though taller), but with white veins instead of red.Answers on a postcard please!
UPDATE: A bit of poking around on Google reveals that it's not uncommon for a white root or two to pop up in a line of Boltardy beetroots - which mine are. BUT... they are usually still beetroot shaped. Weird...

The imposter is probably a white beet. I've grown them deliberately in the past - yummy - but have also had an odd one or two popping up in the rows of my red beets. I'm doing 3 varieties this year as beetroot is a favourite of mine, particularly delicious roasted with goats cheese.
Enjoy your beet feast!
We grow various colours of beetroot but as you say all are round or cylindrical not carrot shaped.
