The Chioggia Beet, also known as the Candy Cane Beet, is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. This heirloom variety, growing to about 6-8 inches tall, boasts stunning red and white striped flesh that adds a burst of color to salads and garnishes.  Its sweet, tender flavor is a delight whether eaten raw, roasted, or pickled.  Not only is it a culinary gem, but it's also a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamins and minerals.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer/fall. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.  Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart. Beets prefer full sun and loose, well-draining soil.  Keep soil consistently moist. Harvest young beet greens in about 35 days or mature beets in 50-60 days.
