Franchi Seeds Beetroot of Chioggia

Franchi Beetroot “Tonda di Chioggia” is a striking Italian heritage beet variety renowned for its beautiful pink-and-white concentric rings, sweet delicate flavour and tender texture. Originating from the historic coastal town of Chioggia near Venice, this visually distinctive beetroot brings both vibrant colour and authentic Italian character to home gardens and seasonal cooking.

Carefully selected by Franchi Sementi, one of Italy’s oldest and most respected seed producers, this traditional variety produces smooth, round roots with crisp flesh and a naturally mild sweetness. Ideal for roasting, salads, pickling or serving raw, Chioggia beetroot offers a more refined, less earthy flavour than conventional beet varieties while adding dramatic visual appeal to dishes.
