The beet for those who don’t like beets. Like wine, or coffee, there other acquired tastes. We are told to start with something a bit…different if we don’t like the tastes. For wine, it’s start with white, if that doesn’t work, start with moscato, eventually you come to enjoy a broader range of tastes. Coffee it’s adding creamer or other flavors. For beets it’s either these or golden beets. Beets themselves are sweet, juicy & delicious but they come with an earthy flavour that turns a lot of people off, I was one of those people. The chioggia retains all that sweetness but without the earthy tones. It also doesn’t bleed like others, saves on the mess. & if you already love beets & don’t need any convincing, try these for their unique color pattern. They make the most beautiful dishes. Anything you add these to will be that much more beautiful. The Chioggia is named after a small fishing town in Italy, just across from Venice. Dubbed, Little Venice. The first known mention of the seeds was in French seed catalogue Vilmorin in 1840. Chioggia Beet Seeds, Us Heirloom Organic Non Gmo, Free Gift With Order
