Choiggia Guardsmark* is a candy striped speciality beet variety that Sakata recently added to their beet range.  This variety offers a vivid purple and white interior zoning, along with a mild sweet flavour.

This beet is appealing to the fresh market, speciality growers and home gardeners.  The high quality roots have a flattened-globe shape and can be produced all year round in warmer production areas.
