Once known as Barbabietola de Bassano, this unique beet became the Barbabietola de Chioggia or Chioggia beet, an Italian city south of Venice. The original Bassano, introduced in 1841, was said to be flatter on top and have a less pronounced red skin. This heirloom seed was improved by Alf Christianson Seed Company of Washington State to accentuate its unique characteristics. Indeed, this beet produces a magnificent reddish-purple root that is spectacular when cut in half, as it features alternating purple and white rings. Thanks to its particularly sweet taste, it is a hit raw or briefly steamed. The leaves are short and attractive.
Days to harvest: 55 to 65
