This Italian heirloom (1840) from Chioggia is from the ancestral village of my father’s side of the family. We love the swirly white and red inside of the beet. Sweet and earthy, the chioggia is a staple treat.

Biannual. Chioggia originated from the Venetian fishing town on Bassano Italy. Unique and beautiful candy-striped beet. Alternating rings of dark red and white make this variety a popular choice for specialty markets. A new strain of the popular Italian heirloom, improved by Alf Christianson Seed Company for better uniformity and bolt tolerance. Uniform · Bolt tolerant · 3" roots
