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.

Hi Dave
Cooked beetroot are good in the refrigerator for three to five days. They will store for many weeks if they are covered in vinegar.

Hi Carol,
It is much quicker & easier to microwave beetroot. Boiling takes so long!
Put 4 egg-sized beet in a microwaveable bowl, add about 3 tablespoons of water and cover. Microwave on full power for about 8 mins. turning half way through cooking. Remove the beet from the oven & rest for 2 minutes. Drain then cool the beet in cold water.
