BLOODY BEATS

in gardening •  6 years ago 

Harvested beats today. These are one of my favorite vegetables and boy are they great for the body!

This is the raised bed we harvested from. Took about 60% from the bed and still have some that we will let get bigger.

Beets washed with both ends trimmed. When trimming you should cut both ends leaving about 1 inch from the beat. By doing this you will stop a lot of the bleeding when boiling.

After Boiling, the outer skin of the beat will basically slide right off.

We diced some of them. The others we just cut into 1/4 inch slices.

Vacumn sealing the beets will keep them good for up to a year. I promise you they will not last that long!

We put about 11 pounds in the freezer.
