Chioggia

    A sweet, mellow flavoured, red skinned, round beetroot known for its red and white concentric rings when cut.   Used raw, cooked, pickled or add young leaves to salads.     

A striking Italian variety guaranteed to provoke comment when used to add both visual appeal and flavour to your beetroot recipes. The nicely ball-shaped roots are light red in colour instead of the usual beetroot. However, it's when they are sliced that they reveal their surprise as the flesh consists of highly ornamental, contrasting dark pink and white alternating rings.

  This Italian heirloom squash / pumpkin is a bright green squash with a very bumpy textured skin and is also called a sea pumpkin. It comes from the Italian coastal town of Chioggia, just south of Venice.
