What it is
These are tender, pre-cooked beets that have been sliced for convenience. They are packed in water without any added salt, making them a simple way to enjoy the earthy flavor and vibrant color of beets. The slicing means they are ready to use straight from the can, saving you preparation time.
How people cook with it
Sliced beets are a versatile ingredient that can be added to a variety of dishes. They offer a convenient way to incorporate vegetables into your meals.
- Tossed into salads
- Added to grain bowls
- Served as a side dish
- Blended into dips
You can serve these sliced beets cold, straight from the can, after draining them. They are also delicious when gently warmed. Try tossing them with a light vinaigrette, a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or parsley, or a touch of lemon juice. They can be added to green salads for color and texture, or incorporated into warm dishes like roasted vegetable medleys. Their mild flavor also makes them suitable for blending into smoothies or savory dips.

Unlike fresh beets, these are already cooked and sliced, eliminating the need for peeling and boiling. The absence of added salt makes them a good option for those monitoring their sodium intake, offering a pure beet flavor.
