Beautiful inside and out, Candy Cane Beets are a stunning heirloom variety known for their striking red-and-white concentric rings that resemble a candy cane when sliced. With a sweet, mild flavor and less earthy taste than traditional red beets, they’re as delicious as they are eye-catching.
Perfect for roasting, steaming, or enjoying raw, Candy Cane Beets add beautiful color and fresh flavor to salads, side dishes, and gourmet recipes. While some of the distinctive striping softens during cooking, they remain a beautiful and flavorful addition to any meal.

Sweet, tender, and naturally beautiful, Candy Cane Beets are a delicious way to bring color, flavor, and a touch of elegance to your table.
