What looks like one beet seed is actually a cluster of several seeds, so it still takes one beet seed to grow one plant.

"Each big beet seed cluster is actually composed of 3 or 4 smaller seeds which often all germinate in a clump, so planting beets at the proper spacing of at least an inch apart, and then thinning them early, is critical to having a good harvest of shapely mature roots."
