Today I did a taste test on these 6 different beets. They were all grown in the same garden area. The Cosby Egyptian was not worth eating. Ruby Queen, Lutz Winter Keeper, Detroit were all poor tasting, hard to eat plain. Chiogga was very good and sweet and rich. Albino was not as sweet as Chiogga, but it was still sweet and good tasting. I still have to test Golden beets. Needless to say, Chiogga will be growing again in my garden next year! And I will try out some other varieties, to see if anything can compare to Chiogga. It is the end of June now. When I harvest these beets for storage I will test them again to see if any changes have occurred.
