About Chioggia

Chioggia is an Italian heirloom beet known for its striking red-and-white concentric rings inside the root. Its flavor is generally milder and sweeter than many dark red beets.

Growing Chioggia Beet

Harvest on the younger side to keep roots tender and the ring pattern crisp. The interior pattern softens visually with cooking, so pick promptly if appearance matters.
