❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can fresh beetroot be eaten raw?

Yes. Raw beetroot has a firm, crisp texture and naturally sweet, earthy flavour. Try grating it into salads and homemade slaws.

Do I need to peel beetroot?

It depends on how you’re preparing it. Beetroot can be peeled before chopping, while beetroot cooked whole can often be peeled more easily after cooking.

Can I roast fresh beetroot?

Yes. Cut it into wedges, toss with a little oil and your favourite herbs, then roast until tender.

How long does beetroot take to roast?

Depending on the size of the pieces, beetroot generally takes around 35–45 minutes at 200°C.

What flavours go well with beetroot?

Beetroot works particularly well with goat’s cheese, feta, walnuts, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, rosemary and carrots.

How should fresh beetroot be stored?

Keep it in a cool place or refrigerate it. If the beetroot still has leafy tops attached, removing them before storage can help prevent the root from losing moisture.
