Pickled Beets

Pickled beets are fresh beets that have been boiled, sliced, and then preserved in a tangy, sweet, and mildly acidic solution called pickling brine. The brine typically contains vinegar, sugar, and spices, which enhance the beets' natural flavor and extend their shelf life. This process gives the beets a vibrant color, a tender texture, and a distinctive sweet-and-sour taste. Pickled beets are commonly enjoyed as a side dish, in salads, or as a topping, offering both flavor and nutritional benefits like fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
