Chioggia Beets are an Italian heirloom variety famous for their stunning interior. When sliced, they reveal a beautiful concentric ring pattern of pink and white, earning them the nickname "candy stripe beet." They have a flavor that is milder, sweeter, and less earthy than standard red beets. Their incredible visual appeal makes them a showstopper when served raw, thinly sliced in salads or carpaccios. The color tends to fade when cooked, so they are best enjoyed fresh to preserve their beauty.
