Family Gourmet Sliced Beets
What it is
These are tender, cooked beet slices preserved in a light brine. The beets have been carefully prepared and cut into uniform pieces, making them ready for immediate use in various dishes. Their vibrant color and earthy flavor are characteristic of fresh beets, but they offer the convenience of being pre-cooked and ready to eat. This product is designed to save time in the kitchen while still providing the taste of home-cooked beets.

Simply drain the brine from the can or pouch before using. These pre-cooked beet slices can be enjoyed cold straight from the package, making them ideal for quick meals.
