No Salt Added Sliced Beets
What it is
These are tender slices of cooked beets preserved in water. They offer the earthy sweetness of beets without added sodium, making them a versatile ingredient for various dishes. The canning process ensures they are ready to use straight from the package, saving preparation time. Their vibrant color adds visual appeal to meals.
How people cook with it
These convenient beet slices can be incorporated into both hot and cold dishes. They are a simple addition to salads or a quick side dish.
- Add to green salads
- Serve as a simple side
- Incorporate into grain bowls
- Blend into dips
Open the can and drain the liquid. The beets are already cooked and sliced, so they require no further preparation for many uses. For a warm side dish, gently heat the drained slices in a saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes. They can also be added directly to cold preparations like salads or grain bowls. For a unique twist, consider blending them into a vibrant dip or spread.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh beets that require peeling, boiling, and slicing, these pre-cooked slices offer immediate convenience. The absence of added salt distinguishes them from some other canned vegetables, allowing for greater control over the final flavor profile of your dish.

Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add vegetables to their meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused beets to a clean, airtight container. Store refrigerated and consume within 3 to 5 days. This ensures their freshness and quality for subsequent use.
