FROM THE SEED PACKET
How to grow
1 Sow
Plant Chioggia seed 1/2 inch deep where the bed gets full sun.
2 Grow
Thin seedlings to 3–4 inches apart; each seed may produce more than one.
3 Harvest
Allow 50–65 days to maturity, and use young thinnings in salads.
Do slice one open.
Why we grow it
Cut open a Chioggia beet and its striped center gives the cutting board a little show. This Italian heirloom offers roots for roasting or pickling and green tops for another meal.
Each seed may produce several seedlings. Thin the row as it grows, and bring young thinnings to the salad bowl instead of leaving them behind.
Good to know

Can I eat the greens?
Yes. Both the roots and green tops are edible, and young thinnings can go in salads.
Why are several seedlings close together?
Each beet seed can produce multiple seedlings. Thin them to give roots space.
