Chioggia Beetroot is a striking Italian heirloom variety known for its beautiful pink and white concentric rings inside the root. When sliced, it reveals a candy-striped pattern, which is why it’s often called “Candy Cane Beet.” Originally from the coastal town of Chioggia in Italy, this beetroot variety is prized for both its visual appeal and mild, sweet flavor.
Unlike darker beet varieties, Chioggia beetroot has a delicate, less earthy taste and tends to bleed less color, making it perfect for salads and gourmet dishes where presentation matters. The flesh is tender and crisp when raw and becomes soft and sweet when cooked.
Rich in fiber, antioxidants, folate, and essential minerals, Chioggia beetroot supports overall health while adding vibrant color and natural sweetness to meals.
