cooked or raw?

when you buy a jar of beetroot...in vinigar, has it been cooked??

[Quizmonster]

Yes.

Click here for a typical recipe for making your own. (Personally, I think 1 - 2 hours simmering is too long, because I prefer my pickled beetroot to be crispy rather than soft...but the choice is yours.)

freshly cooked beetroot WITHOUT piclkling is yummy. You should only cook it until the skin peals easily then it ready to be cooled and eaten or pickled. Make sure you top and tail it and discard both first. :)-

It is also high in anit-toxins and is great for preventing cancer

I was told you shouldn't top and tail before cooking. This causes the beetroot to bleed and impairs flavour. Just trim stalks at top and leave tail on unitl after it's cooked when you skin it.

god me mother was right!! i'd never even actually thought about it and just pressumed maybe the vinigar made it softer...Its still quite hard n crunchy though isnt it?? You sure its cooked?? It doesnt say cooked on the jar :-) xx
