Chiogga Beets
Beets are back! Red Ace or the Sweet Chioggas, with their pink concentric rings, will be in your shares this week. Both have wonderful greens. To make the most of this often overlooked but amazing root, see Debbie’s Tips & Techniques for beets for a comprehensive overview of what your culinary options are.
