Pickled Beetroot

Pickled beetroot is heat-processed red beet preserved in a sweet and sour brine. Thanks to sterilisation, it is ready to use straight from the jar with no additional cooking required. It has a characteristic earthy, sweet flavour with a mild tanginess from the brine. In the kitchen, it works as a side dish for meat dishes, in salads, on platters, or as a base for soups such as borscht. The brine from the jar can also be used to flavour sauces and dressings. Beetroot is rich in folate, manganese, potassium, and the natural pigment betanin, which gives it its deep red colour.
