    Chioggia beet is one of the prettiest, most colorful beet you could grow. Cutting open the root you'll be amazed at the beautiful red/white interior.

    Not only are the beet roots edible (either baked, pickled, or made into Borscht) but the tops are also delicious! A gardener's bargain from top to bottom!
