Give your vegetable garden an exceptional touch with VEGETABLE SEEDS - BEET - CHIOGGIA. This iconic beet variety, known for its concentric striped core, transforms every harvest into a true colorful masterpiece without compromising on flavor.

A Striped Beet That Charms with Every Bite

Chioggia stands out with its marbled white and pink interior, surrounded by a smooth, deep red skin. Its sweet and slightly sugary taste, more delicate than some classic varieties, is particularly appreciated raw in salads, cooked as a side dish, or in preserving jars. Its color persists after cooking, making it a preferred choice for visually impactful and gourmet dishes.

Key Features

• Remarkable visual appeal: white-pink concentric striped bulblets inside, elegant red skin.
• Flavor: natural sweetness with a slightly sugary note, ideal both raw and cooked.
• Culinary versatility: perfect in crisp salads, roasted in the oven, or preserved for colorful jars.
• Climatic adaptation: suitable for spring and summer crops in temperate climates, tolerates cool conditions and prefers loose, deep soil.
• Harvest and storage: bulbs harvested when the diameter reaches an appropriate size, then easy to store in the refrigerator for several weeks.

Growing Tips for Optimal Results

• Sow directly into the ground 1–2 cm deep, in rows spaced 30–45 cm apart. To promote well-rounded roots, space plants 8–12 cm apart when transplanting or thinning.
• Rapid germination takes approximately 7–14 days depending on temperature. Keep the soil uniformly cool and moist without excess standing water.
• Exposure and soil: generous or partial sun, light, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to facilitate bulb formation.
• Watering and maintenance: regular watering to prevent wilting, mulching to retain moisture and limit weeds.
• Harvest: wait until bulbs reach an appropriate size (approximately 8–12 cm in diameter depending on preference), then harvest before leaves bolt to maximize tenderness.

Practical Uses and Recipe Ideas

• In salad: thinly slice Chioggia beets for a striking visual contrast with citrus and fresh herbs.
• Roasted in the oven: season with olive oil, thyme, and garlic to reveal their natural sweetness.
• Jars and preserves: diced, they keep well in the refrigerator and add a colorful touch to your winter dishes.
