To Prepare Beetroot for cooking:
* Pull the beetroots on the small side, as they have a better taste & texture
* Tear off the leaves leaving 2″ of stalk
* Leave the roots on
* Wash the beetroot in cold water
It is important not to cut the beetroot in anyway – hence leaving the roots on, and twisting the leaves off well above the root. If the beetroot is cut it will bleed, and loose all the purple colour, and will appear a nasty off-white colour. For this reason the beetroot is not peeled before it is cooked.
