Beetroot Chioggia

A wonderful Italian Heirloom variety from the Venice region.  The nicely ball-shaped roots are light red in colour instead of the usual beetroot. However, it’s when they are sliced that they reveal their surprise as the flesh consists of highly ornamental, contrasting dark pink and white alternating rings with a deliciously mild flavour.

Very early, thriving in almost any soil and situation, it can be sown from April to July for harvesting in about 8-10 weeks.
