We can talk endlessly about the benefits of beets.

  • It is recommended to eat it for anemia, digestive problems, and hypertension.
  • Fiber helps better digestion of food. Pectins, which beets are rich in, help remove salts of heavy metals, tin, mercury, lead and even some toxic substances of microbial origin from the body.
  • Regular consumption of beets provides the body with calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, cobalt, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP, P, E, U.
  • If there is a risk of atherosclerosis, then beets should be included in the menu daily.
  • Everyone is accustomed to preparing dishes only from root vegetables, throwing away the tops. But it contains a large amount of protein and other substances important for the body. If the beets are young, then their leaves and petioles can also be eaten, adding them to salads, soups, and botvinya.

Beets can be bought at any time of the year. But in winter it is often frozen, spoiled or lethargic due to improper storage. Therefore, zealous housewives prepare this vegetable for future use in the form of pickles and marinades.

What kind of beets can be pickled?

Both mature root vegetables and small beets are suitable for pickling. The main thing is that they are strong, healthy, without black spots.

The beets should be a rich burgundy color without whitish inclusions on the cut, and especially without white circles.

Preparing beets for pickling

Trim the tops of root vegetables and wash them thoroughly under running water with a brush.

To save most nutrients, it is recommended to boil beets in their skins. To do this, immerse the vegetables in boiling water and cook until soft. According to some recipes, beets are cooked until half cooked. But in any case, there is no need to salt the water, as this worsens the taste of the beets.

To keep the beets burgundy color, some housewives advise adding vinegar to the water. If you also decide to take their advice, you should be prepared for the fact that the beets will take much longer to cook.

But there is a way by which beets will retain their color without vinegar.

Firstly, beets cannot tolerate vigorous boiling.! Even the darkest burgundy fruit will lose its color if cooked over high heat. Therefore, after lowering the beets into boiling water, do not leave the stove. Wait until the water boils again, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan with a lid. The water should only ripple slightly when cooking beets.

Secondly, the beets need to be cooled properly. This applies to root vegetables both with and without peel. Remove the cooked beets from the pan and immediately place them under running cold water. Now the beets can be easily peeled. Then put it in the refrigerator until it cools completely. You will see what a rich color the fruit will turn into!

The next stage is slicing. If the fruits are small, the beets can be pickled whole or cut into 2-4 parts. Cut large beets into circles, cubes, cubes or strips. It all depends on what purpose you are pickling this vegetable for.

Pay special attention to the marinade. The classic marinade is prepared with the addition of only salt, sugar and vinegar. But there are many recipes according to which, in addition to these ingredients, other herbs and spices are added. Most often, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, onion, and coriander are used for pickling beets. But for the sake of experimentation, you can add other spices, taking into account your taste preferences.
