*1：Beet

Beet, also known as sugar radish in Japan, is a vegetable similar to spinach. It is cultivated in cold regions such as Russia, European countries, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and accounts for 40% of the world's sugar production. In Japan, it is cultivated only in Hokkaido, where about 70,000 hectares are planted mainly in the field crop areas of Tokachi and Abashiri.
