Meet Chioggia beets, often called candy cane beets and once you see them sliced, you’ll understand why.
Naturally striped and slightly sweeter than traditional red beets, Chioggias bring instant visual interest to winter plates without needing anything fancy. Their mild flavor and striking pattern make them feel special, even when prepared simply.
How I love to use them:
- Thinly sliced raw for salads and citrus pairings
- Simply roasted to highlight their natural sweetness
- Layered onto winter plates for color, contrast and texture
Simple. Seasonal. Quietly stunning.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
