Chioggia Beets, also known as Candy Cane or Bull's Eye Beets, are a striking variety recognized for their concentric rings of vivid magenta and pristine white. When sliced open, their unique coloring presents an eye-catching pattern similar to a candy cane, adding a visual pop to any dish. These roots boast a mild, sweet earthiness with a flavor less intense than their red counterparts, which makes them perfect for raw preparations. Chioggia Beets add a delightful crunch and a visual surprise to salads and can be roasted or pickled, retaining their tender texture. Oftentimes served thinly shaved, they offer a vibrant twist to traditional beet recipes and are a nutritious choice, loaded with fiber, folate, and potassium.
