Beet Varieties

Chioggia Beets

Last year was the first time that I grew Chioggia Beets.  As you may already know, I am not a big fan of solid red beets.  Here is why I like Chioggia Beets . . .

Features:

1) This variety has red skin and red and white rings inside.

2) Chioggia Beets do not bleed red everywhere like the solid red beets – bonus!

3) These beets will get up to 3 inches wide.

4) Chioggia leaves will reach up to 1 1/2 feet tall.

5) This beet is named after a fishing village called Chioggia near Venice, Italy.

6) This variety will mature in about 55 days.

7) Chioggia Beets are great fresh and roasted.
