Beet – Chioggia
Price range: $2.60 through $21.50
Italian heirloom popular since the early 1800s. Also known as the candy stripe or bulls-eye, Chioggia is a beet with striking deep pink and white spirals. Sweet and one of the most beautiful of all beets. Excellent for fresh eating and pickling. These crisp clean beets are much less messy than their red stained brothers, as well as having much less of the traditionally earthy iron flavor of the red beet.
