Beetroot Chioggia

Beetroot Chioggia, commonly known as the candy cane beet, is a unique variety prized for its eye-catching candy-striped appearance due to it’s beautiful concentric rings of red and white.

This globe-shaped beet has a slightly flattened profile and showcases attractive dark-green leaves with ruby-red stems. It possesses a milder and sweeter flavour compared to traditional red beetroots, making it versatile for use in salads, pickles, or cooked dishes.

The Chioggia beet is not just visually appealing; it is also nutritious. It’s high in fiber and rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including folate, Vitamin C, and potassium.

These beets can be sown from early spring to late fall and are suitable for raised beds, traditional gardens, or container gardening.

For those interested in baby greens, sow the seeds closer together and thin them out as needed throughout the growing season. Enjoy a colourful addition to your garden with this delightful variety!
