Preserve colour
If you cook Chioggia beets with their skins on, the distinctive colour variations of the flesh are better preserved.
Use the greens
You can eat Chioggia beet greens. They’re rich in vitamin K. The best way to use them is to toss the tender leaves into a salad.
Combine with…
The sweet flavour of Chioggia beet pairs nicely with the subtly tangy taste of balsamic vinegar.
The colour
For the best colour retention, it is best to boil the beetroot or roast it at a temperature below 200°C.
