Product Description
“Round beetroot from Chioggia” has spherical, light red roots with alternating layers of white and pale red flesh. The sweetest beetroot you will ever eat, and even people who do not normally like beetroot love these. Young tops are excellent in salads.
Direct plant from date of last frost in rows 25cm apart and thin to one plant every 10cm. 60 or so days to maturity, but pick anytime after they are 5cm in diameter. Make sure the top of the beet's bulb is covered with soil; this keeps the entire bulb the same color and prevents 'corkiness' at the top of the bulb.

Sweet and no stains
Posted by Votedwithourforks on 27th Oct 2010
We've just harvested our first Tonda di chioggia (planted late May and harvested in October)and are thrilled with the sweet flavour. We used ours for Turkish beetroot salad.
One great advantage I hadn't thought of was that with so little red coloring there are no stains from the beetroot when you cook it.
