<p>The place of the humble sprout at the heart of the traditional Christmas meal could be under threat from an unexpected rival &#8211; Victorian beetroot.</p>
<p>A range of unusually coloured beets have been launched in time for the Christmas season.</p>
<p>Three varieties of heritage beetroot &#8211; golden, white and chioggia &#8211; are available from Tuesday in Sainsbury&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The supermarket says the golden variety has a delicate and sweet taste.</p>
<p>White is extra sweet, and the seasonal favourite, chioggia, has a subtle aroma and taste.</p>
<p>The beets were seen as a delicacy more than 100 years ago in the UK but remain popular now in Spain and the Middle East.</p>
<p>And the vegetables could offer solace to the army of diners left distraught by the taste of sprouts.</p>
<p>The Taste the Difference Heritage Beetroot will be priced at £2 a bunch.</p>
<p>The chioggia variety, also called candy striped by Sainsbury&#8217;s, boasts a distinctive red and white pattern.</p>
<p>It originates from the Italian coastal town of Chioggia, near Venice.</p>
