Beets, Chiogga, 2 lbs
$8.69
Also know as "Candy Cane" beet.
Chioggia beets are medium to large in size and are globular to oval with a slightly flattened shape. The skin is semi-rough due to spots, indentations, and marks, and is firm, burgundy to dark red, and covered in fine hairs. Underneath the skin, the flesh is dense and naturally striped with concentric rings of white and fuchsia or red. When raw, Chioggia beets have a crunchy texture with a strong earthy flavor, and when cooked, they develop a tender and soft consistency with a sweet, earthy flavor.
