They're sometimes called candy cane beets. I used to work on a farm and we grew all kinds of cool colored and patterned beets.

This is the beet they were talking about when they were singing "Give me the beet now and free my soul"
It's a Chioggia beet, mostly for cool decoration on a plate.
Onion-beet!

I've cooked ones like this before, but they never tasted as good as the fully red ones. I guess it's probably due to insufficient water so the beet's not juicy.
