How Do You Process Beets From The Garden?
First, wash the beets thoroughly and cut off the greens, leaving about an inch of the stem. Next, boil the beets for about 40-50 minutes or until tender. Once the beets are cooked, place them under cold water and remove the skin by sliding it off with your fingers. You can chop or slice the beets and use them in a salad, or roast them with some olive oil and salt for a flavorful side dish. Alternatively, you can slice or shred the beets and use them to make pickles or ferment them to make beet kvass or sauerkraut.
