To prepare these beets, you can start by washing them thoroughly under cool water. Many people prefer to peel them after cooking, as the skin can become tough. Roasting is a popular method; simply toss them with a little oil and seasoning and bake until tender. Boiling is another option, which can be done whole or cut into pieces. For a quick addition to a salad, you can grate them raw after peeling. They also lend themselves well to pureeing for soups or dips.

How to keep the rest
After opening the packaging, store any unused beets in the refrigerator. It is best to keep them in a cool, dark place, perhaps in a crisper drawer. Ensure they are kept dry to prevent spoilage. They will remain fresh for several days when stored properly.
