Chioggia Guardsmark Organic Beet Seeds
Organic | Candy-Stripe Beet | Sweet Roots & Edible Greens
The Culinary Edge
Chioggia Guardsmark Organic is the beet that earns attention the moment you cut it open. The round roots hide vivid pink and white concentric rings inside, giving salads, pickles, carpaccio-style plates, and market bunches a clean bullseye pattern that feels almost impossible to ignore.
The flavour is mild, sweet, and less earthy than many dark red beets, which makes Chioggia especially useful for fresh preparations. Slice it raw to show the rings, roast it gently for sweetness, quick-pickle thin rounds, or harvest the tender greens for sauteing and salads. It is both beautiful and practical: a real kitchen beet, not just a novelty.

Flavor Profile
Sweet Mild Roots: A gentler beet flavour that works especially well raw, lightly cooked, or pickled.
Showpiece Interior: Pink and white rings make every slice look intentional, whether on a salad plate or farmers market table.
Useful Greens: The leafy tops are edible and can be harvested young for salad or cooked like tender chard.
Culinary Versatility
Raw Slices: Shave thinly for salads, carpaccio-style plates, slaws, and garnish work that shows the rings.
Quick Pickles: Slice into rounds and pickle with vinegar, herbs, citrus, peppercorns, or garlic.
Roasting: Roast whole or halved for sweetness, then dress with olive oil, herbs, citrus, goat cheese, or toasted nuts.
Greens: Use young tops in salad mixes, or saute mature greens with garlic and olive oil.
Growing Notes
Season: Direct sow in cool weather from early spring through late summer for succession harvests.
Seed Clusters: Beet seed is naturally a cluster, so thin seedlings for evenly sized roots.
Soil: Grow in loose, fertile, well-drained soil with steady moisture for smooth round roots.
Spacing: Thin to about 3-4 inches apart for full-size roots, or harvest extras as baby greens.
Harvest: Pull young for tender baby beets or let roots size up while they remain smooth and sweet.
Casa Verde Grower Note: Chioggia Guardsmark is one of those varieties that makes a simple harvest feel chef-level. Keep a few roots for fresh slicing, because the rings are too good to hide in a pot.
