Beets come in many forms. Gold, burgundy, red/white striped, orange and 
white. There are also bulbless varieties such as Swiss Chard and varieties 
that have long roots like a carrot or radish. Some beets get grossly huge 
roots such as sugar beets and those grown to feed livestock.

I would assume that white beets are meant or possibly Swiss chard.
