Beetroot Chioggia

The most beautiful beetroot in the range. Beetroot Chioggia is a Victorian Italian heirloom that reveals candy-pink and white concentric rings when sliced — a pattern of extraordinary decorative quality that makes it outstanding for salads, carpaccio, and any dish where presentation matters. Milder and sweeter than red varieties, and outstanding eaten raw.
