Candy stripe Beetroot Chioggia

We love to cook them in the oven: simply peel, wrap in aluminum foil, and bake at 200°C for 1 hour. Their sweet, earthy flavor and tender texture are unmatched. You can also use the beet greens, similar to spinach, in salads or cooked dishes. Prefer a less earthy taste? Try Burpee's Golden beets.
