Beets, Red (Aylmer, ON) - 1lb

Red beets are a vibrant root vegetable known for their ruby-red color and rich nutrient content. Packed with fiber for digestion, folate to support red blood cells, and vitamin C for immune health, they also contain potassium and smaller amounts of manganese, vitamin A, and iron. Their signature earthy flavour comes from a natural compound called geosmin.

Red beets offer a sweet, earthy taste that shines in both raw and cooked dishes. Raw, they can be peeled and grated into salads, grain bowls, or soups. When roasted, steamed, or boiled, they become tender and flavorful, perfect for soups, salads, or as a savoury-sweet side dish.

Versatile and colourful, red beets pair well with a variety of foods, from potatoes and citrus to meats and cheeses. They can also be pickled or canned, preserving their flavour for future use.
