Discover our ORGANIC BEETROOT SEEDS - CHIOGGIA, an iconic variety for a colorful and generous vegetable garden. Chioggia beetroot stands out with its striped flesh, alternating pink and white rings, which adds a playful and gourmet touch to your dishes, while offering a natural sweetness that reveals itself equally well raw or cooked.

Why choose this organic CHIOGGIA

• Authentic Chioggia variety with remarkable striped flesh, ideal for salads, juices or stews.
• Organic: seeds from organic farming, cultivated without chemical treatments, for environmentally friendly cultivation and harvesting without unwanted residues.
• Suitable for home gardens and even balcony gardens thanks to its tolerance to medium spaces and cultivation in deep, well-amended soil.
• Versatile culinary profile: delicious grated in carpaccio, grated in colorful salads, roasted in the oven, or preserved in jars for winter.

Practical tips for a successful harvest

• Sow 1 to 2 cm deep, in rows spaced approximately 25 cm apart and leave 8 to 10 cm between each plant to allow optimal root development.
• Choose a sowing period in early spring when the soil is workable and frosts are no longer a threat; Chioggia appreciates temperate climates and rich, cool, well-drained soil.
• Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on temperature; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist without being waterlogged.
• Thin out if necessary to prevent root crushing and promote well-rounded and crunchy beetroots.
• Harvest approximately 55 to 70 days after sowing, when the roots reach the desired size and the leaves remain vigorous.

Culinary uses and practical ideas

• In salads: finely slice Chioggia beetroots for a spectacular visual effect and a natural sweetness that enhances raw vegetables.
• In cooked dishes: roasted in the oven with a touch of olive oil, garlic, and rosemary, or slowly braised to intensify their color and flavor.
• Canning and jarring: perfect for colorful and nutritious marinades, ready to add a pigmented touch throughout the year.
• Suggested pairings: citrus fruits, goat cheese, walnuts, balsamic vinegar, and fresh herbs for balanced and dietary combinations.
