How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh beets, these are pre-cooked and pickled, which means they have a softer texture and a pronounced sweet-sour taste. Fresh beets require peeling and cooking, and their flavor is more earthy and less intense. The brine adds a unique tanginess that is not present in raw or simply boiled beets.
