Try it in the kitchen
Slice the root finely for a salad with olive oil and lemon, letting the rings become part of the presentation. Or roast pieces and serve them beside a simple bean dish.
Boil, sauté or bake Chioggia beet, or serve the raw root in thin slices or grated, dressed with lemon and extra-virgin olive oil. These preparations give the ringed root a place in both cooked side dishes and raw salads.
Look for the named variety
Choose beet identified as Chioggia if you want the ringed interior. The cultivar name describes the variety; it does not establish where a particular root was grown.
