(Beta vulgaris)
Chioggia Beetroot is an Italian Heirloom variety. also known as 'Candy Stripe' - having attractive concentric red & white rings. The rings are lost during cooking due to staining from the red rings but if sliced thinly and used fresh it can be very attractive in salads or garnish.
Leaves can be used fresh or cooked due to the oxalic acid content. A great substitute for spinach and silverbeet. Roots are typically used pickled, roasted and steamed. Beetroots also store well in a plastic bag refrigerated.
After 6 weeks you can begin harvesting leafy greens for salads or blanching. Keep in mind beetroot leaves do have oxalic acid so it is best to cook them. After approximately 70 days the root will have swelled and you can begin harvesting baby beetroot. If the plants are to close together you can 'thin' them out by harvesting the largest beetroots making room for the smaller ones to grow into.
