Chioggia Beetroot: Delight in the beauty and taste of this very early old Italian beet variety, prized for its visually striking round roots with sweet, pink flesh veined with white. Known as the candy cane or candy stripe beet, it is celebrated by chefs for its decorative appearance in raw dishes. Note that it tends to lose its vibrant coloring when cooked; for best visual appeal, cook the beets whole, then peel and slice just before serving.
Key Features:
- Flavor Profile: Sweet with a texture ideal for raw or cooked preparations.
- Visual Appeal: Distinctive pink and white veined flesh makes it a favorite for raw culinary displays.
- Versatility: Enjoy it raw, grated in vinaigrettes, or cooked in salads.
