Look For
Firm, uniform beets free of cracks or blemishes. Attached leaves should be deep green and fresh looking.
To Store
Refrigerate unwashed with stem and root attached, covered for up to 1 week.
To Prepare
Rinse, remove greens leaving 5 cm (2″) of stem. To prevent colour loss, don’t slice or cut before cooking. Cool cooked beets before removing roots, stems and skin.
