Enjoy the earthy sweetness of perfectly boiled beets, a versatile root vegetable ideal for salads, side dishes, or vibrant dips. Proper storage ensures these nutrient-rich gems maintain their delicious flavor and texture for your culinary creations.

Storage Time

3–5 days in the refrigerator, up to 10–12 months when properly frozen.

Temperature

Store refrigerated cooked beets in an airtight container at 0–4°C (32–40°F).

Freezing

To freeze boiled beets, allow them to cool completely. You can freeze them whole, sliced, or diced. For best quality, pack them into airtight freezer bags or containers, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for optimal texture and flavor, or use directly from frozen in cooked dishes.

Signs of Spoilage

• Slimy or mushy texture.
