How to prepare beetroot for cooking

Filed under: root veg — Tags: , — TopVeg @ 4:25 pm

To Prepare  Beetroot for cooking:

* Pull the Beetroot when they are on the small side, as they have a better taste
& texture.  The ideal size is that of a golf ball up to a cricket ball size.
* Tear off the leaves leaving 2″ of stalk
* Leave the roots on
* Wash the beetroot in cold water

The Beetroot is now ready for cooking.  If you cut the leaves too close to the beet, or if you cut the roots, the beetroot will ‘bleed’ and all the red colour could be lost from the beetroot.
