Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- When buying fresh beets, choose beets that are small to medium size, with brightly colored and unblemished skin, and green leaves.
- While red and purple beets are the most popular, yellow beets and rainbow beets have an amazing flavor and tend to be a bit less earthy.
- Store roasted beets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
