    Note: as much as AutoModerator is telling me not to ingest it, it WAS given to me as part of a food bag.

    I tried some of it raw. Taste: neutral with a hint of sweet.

    looks like a Beet to me, maybe a Candystripe?

    Beettato? Really, probably a Chiogga Beet.

    I suspect it’s a beet. They typically grow with visible concentric rings that you can see if you cut them right, and there are varieties with striping! It should smell very earthy

    Also, the bit where the leaves were attached very much look like a beet, including the color and texture of the skin

    Everybody keeps saying beet but I think it looks like watermelon radish

    Chioggia Beet. They’re crisp and lovely.

    Looks like a weird Chioggia beet to me.

    Definitely looks like a watermelon radish

    Reminds me of Terra Chips taro root, but the skin doesn’t look like taro

    Possibly a watermelon radish

    Edit: the skin is throwing me off though. Kinda want to say a rutabaga and a watermelon radish had a baby…

    It’s a beet. They’re nice in salad.

    Watermelon radish? Not quite ripe yet though.
