Fresh Root Beet (Raw – KG)

• Description: Fresh Root Beet is a round, bulbous vegetable with deep red or purple skin. The flesh inside is vibrant red and has a sweet, earthy taste. The texture is crunchy when raw, and the vegetable has a slightly fibrous core. The leafy greens attached to the beetroot are also edible and can be used in salads or sautéed dishes.

• Uses: Fresh Root Beet is often used raw in salads, smoothies, or juices. The root can be grated or thinly sliced for a crunchy texture in fresh dishes, while the leaves can be cooked or added to salads for a mild, slightly bitter flavor. In South Asian cuisine, fresh beetroot is sometimes included in raitas (yogurt-based side dishes) or used as an ingredient in vegetable chutneys. It can also be pickled or used to prepare beetroot juice, which is refreshing and nutritious.
