Space the plants 10 to 15 cm apart in the row, with rows spaced 30 to 45 cm apart. Prefer a loose, well-drained soil, rich in organic matter and slightly alkaline for optimal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Water regularly, but sparingly, to prevent roots from becoming woody. Thin plants when they are 5 cm tall to encourage root development. Harvest when roots reach full size, while maintaining their tender texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The roots can be eaten raw in salads, pickled, or cooked, and their red and white zoning adds a unique visual touch to dishes. The young leaves are also edible and can be used like spinach in stir-fries or salads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bring colour, flavour and diversity to your vegetable garden with 'Guardsmark Chioggia' beetroot, a must-have for keen gardeners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"W.H.
