Organic beets
At DanRoots, Danish organic beets are grown – an assortment that ranges from classic red beets to colorful beets in shades of yellow and red.
The beets at DanRoots are harvested during the fall before winter sets in. The beets are then placed in a hive, where they are covered with straw and plastic to keep them fresh over the winter. The beetroots are stored in bins until daily quantities are brought out for customers to order.
Beets, like other root vegetables, are packed with dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Colorful vegetables are generally high in phytochemicals – and colorful beets are especially so. Among other things, beetroot is rich in folate, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
Beets have a beautiful color, a firm texture and a sweet taste that makes them suitable for many dishes and in both savory and sweet cuisine. Beets can be cooked, baked, pickled or used raw in salads, for example.

Colored organic beets
The colored beets are a mix of the red striped candy beet and yellow beet. Colored beets have a sweet taste and are beautiful to use in salads.
The colored beets are very similar in taste to regular beets, but the yellow beets in particular have an extra sweetness. Use colored beets in the same way as regular beets: baked, boiled or raw in salads. It can be an advantage to slice them very thinly on a mandolin and toss them with, for example, citrus juice before adding them to seasonal salads.
Many applications
Beets can be boiled, baked, roasted and used raw. They have a beautiful color and a sweetness that makes them ideal for both savory and sweet cuisine.
Baked beets, in seasonal salads, are particularly delicious and the beets are suitable as a side dish for most dishes.
In addition, beets are great in baked goods such as buns, where they provide the most beautiful color and keep the bread moist. Try a moist beetroot chocolate cake – it’s delicious!
We always recommend that root vegetables are washed well before cooking to avoid soil bacteria in the kitchen.
