Beets Red 250g

Beetroot is called chukandar in Hindi and Rote Bete in German. It is a firm, round root vegetable with deep red flesh, an earthy flavour, and a texture similar to a dense carrot once cooked.

In Indian cooking it is grated raw into a beetroot salad or raita, cooked into a beetroot sabzi or poriyal with coconut, and occasionally used in cutlets. In German cooking it is common boiled and sliced into salads.

How to use

• Scrub well; peeling is easier after boiling or roasting than before.
• Boil, steam, or roast whole until a knife slides in easily, then peel and slice.
• Wear gloves or wash hands promptly, as the deep red juice stains easily; store in the fridge and use within one to two weeks.
