- Side dishes
- Dips
Simply open the package and drain any excess liquid. You can enjoy these steamed beets cold, straight from the package, or warm them gently. To warm, you can sauté them briefly in a pan with a little butter or olive oil, or microwave them for a minute or two. They are perfect for adding to green salads, grain bowls, or serving as a simple side dish. Their natural sweetness also makes them a surprising addition to baked goods or blended into smoothies.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw beets, these are already cooked, saving significant preparation time. Steaming retains more of the beets' natural moisture and delicate flavor compared to boiling, which can sometimes dilute the taste. They are also typically softer than raw beets.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Once opened, transfer any unused beets to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within a few days to maintain their freshness and quality. Avoid freezing, as this can alter their texture.
