Beetroot ‘Tonda di Chioggia’

Beetroot ‘Tonda di Chioggia’ from Andy’s Greens is a beautiful Italian heirloom variety, loved as much for its striking appearance as its sweet, delicate flavour. When cut open, it reveals stunning pink and white concentric rings—like a natural target—making every slice a small surprise.

Unlike some beetroot varieties, it has a gentle, almost creamy sweetness and a tender texture that works brilliantly both raw and cooked. Shaved thin into salads, it adds colour, crunch, and a mild earthy sweetness. Roasted whole, it becomes soft and rich, bringing out its natural sugars. It’s also excellent lightly steamed or pickled, where it holds its shape and visual character.

What makes this variety special is its balance—earthy but not overpowering, sweet but not heavy—and its unique marbled interior that turns simple dishes into something visually memorable.

At Andy’s Greens, it’s harvested young and fresh, when the flavour is cleanest and the texture at its best, offering a beetroot that feels refined, versatile, and a little bit special on the plate.
