What it is
These are pre-cooked and vacuum-sealed organic beets. They are a convenient way to enjoy the earthy flavor and vibrant color of beets without the mess of preparing them from scratch. The beets are typically diced or sliced, making them ready to eat or add to various dishes. They are a good source of natural sweetness and a beautiful addition to any meal.
How people cook with it
These beets are incredibly versatile for quick meal preparation. They can be enjoyed cold or heated up in just a few minutes.
- Added to salads
- Mixed into grain bowls
- Served as a side dish

To use, simply open the package. You can enjoy the beets directly from the pouch as a ready-to-eat addition to salads or grain bowls. For a warm side dish, you can gently heat them in a saucepan with a little bit of water or olive oil for a few minutes until warmed through. They can also be added to roasted vegetable medleys towards the end of cooking. Their natural sweetness makes them a great ingredient in both savory and slightly sweet preparations.
