Description
Chioggia Beetroot — also known as Tondo di Chioggia — is one of the most visually striking vegetables you can bring into your kitchen. Slice it open and you’ll find natural concentric rings of soft pink and creamy white, giving this traditional Italian variety its iconic candy-stripe appearance.
Beyond its beauty, Chioggia offers a gentle sweetness and a mild, clean flavour that makes it especially versatile in the kitchen. Raw, it has a crisp texture and a vibrant look that instantly elevates salads, carpaccio-style dishes and slaws. When cooked, the rings soften into subtle gradients, and the beetroot becomes tender with a delicate sweetness that pairs beautifully with citrus, herbs and cheeses.
For those who enjoy creative cooking or want a beetroot with a lighter, sweeter profile, Chioggia is a standout variety that delivers both flavour and visual flair.
