Beetroot Chioggia

£3.95

A globe-shaped beetroot that treats you to a beautiful sight when sliced, in the form of red and white candy stripes. The stripes are particularly stunning when sliced thinly into salads and eaten raw. When cooked this heirloom beetroot is sweet and tender and the stripes gently fade a little. Fresh leaf shoots can also be snipped off and eaten in salads.
