Chiogga (Candy Striped) Beets - lb

Candy Stripe Beets, also known as Chioggia beets, are an Italian heirloom variety with alternating red and white rings throughout their roots. They have a sweet, earthy flavor, smooth and tender texture, and crunchy bite when raw.

They are absolutely a conversation starter and crowd pleasure with their unique visual appeal! Use them in salads, veggie plates, tacos, wraps, garnishes! You can also roast or bake them which brings out a rich, caramelized flavor, or purée them into dips or blend them into juice!

Chioggia beets are rich in nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide to relax blood vessels and could potentially lower blood pressure. The nitrates can also enhance physical endurance and performance by improving oxygen uptake and muscle efficiency. These beets are also a good source of fiber, and are high in vitamins B9 (folate), C, and A as well as minerals such as Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, and Manganese! Beautiful and beneficial!
