Here's the wife's recipe for pickled beets. Yes she cheats. LOL When boiling beets simply add the vinegar, sugar and spices directly to the water. Once boiled and soft, allow to cool, then peel and eat....it's already pickled!!!! She won't eat store bought and usually just boils in salted sugared water without the vinegar, this way she only cooks a few at a time and eats them fresh each time. Thanks for the video, it was a great learning experience even for an old timer like us!!
Sounds good and simple; what are the spices she uses? Thank you. P.S. please include exact amounts, this is my first time making pickled beets

I make a beet coconut smoothie and it is so good. I put beets, banana, pineapple, mixed berries, coconut milk and water. It's so good and gives me energy!
is soo good 😮😊😮😅
Thanks for sharing your recipe 😋😋; I am gonna give it A try .
Thank you for this recipe
Beet root powder works great too!
Thanks for the health tip, because my blood sugar level has shot up, so I need to eat plenty of healthy foods from here on out 🙏🏾
I like to make beet hummus. Half chick peas and half red beets. Delicious and really looks good in the dip dish.
How modern could this video have been 8 years ago? My God, great work girl!
Had my first beet smoothie this morning loved it. I used melon, beet, pine nuts, mango and a handful of greens. Delicious BTW. Besides all health benefits also good for libido in men. Considering its march was lucky to find even 1 beet with foilage still attached but I did. Will start growing my own. Thanks for your helpful hints on beets.
Noted similar libido effects with a tiny amount of daily Pomegranate juice (Pom diffused in big batch smoothies ... prob less then 1/4 cup per smoothie --- perhaps assisted with a little zinc supplementation)
Thank you for sharing
I've also heard adding the testicles of the Tasmanian Mouse (replacing the Pine Nuts) will boost the libido effect of certain smoothies by nearly 60% when used as a libido stimulant, but you need testicles from about 300 mice for that effect and they are very difficult and rare to source because these mice are very small and quick and difficult to catch... This "aphrodisiac" effect was scientifically discovered and proven while studying the reproductive nature of animals that fed on these mice.
I make a beet smoothie everyday. Beets, carrot juice, frozen pineapple, frozen strawberry, chia seeds, and ginger. It’s delicious!
I love fresh beets! I cook the leaves like spinach; the beets steams I cook and use like celery
Bottom part I wash well put in clean water pot and cook for a while and the water becomes like beet juice
I'm addicted to my local health food store's juice called the color splash; one beet root, ginger, lemon, garlic, carrot, spinach and kale. Awesome!
BOOM - power juice!
I usually roast my beets unless I'm making borsht but the storing tips were really useful. If I do roast for beet salad I fast saute the greens and incorporate; prefer lemon juice to vinegar, but … apples walnuts and beets make a wicked salad, in which case I use apple cider vinegar, what else. Great video.
Oh I know this is super late, but I AM making borscht tonight and how do you peel them for that? Or is there just now way of getting around the just peeling? Blanching? Anything😩? I hate peeling hard root vegetables🙈.
Evelyn that's a delicious sounding recipe. TY!
Great video. We use baseball size, cut in 4th's, pressure cook for 25-30 min. Run over luke warm water and rub the skins off, chop. Then vinegar/olive oil, salt and pepper. Our kids, even as adults love them!
this is great Dani, I have been roasting my beets, on parchment paper and gloves to peal, I use vinegar, water, coconut sugar and ground cloves, red onion. I love them also add the leaves to my smoothie. take care
Hello, love the video. I learned to cut the greens off it. I make a salad with red and greens together definitely oil and vinegar and I add some kind of pepper to it too. Sometimes sub vinegar with fresh diced lemon. On occasion use feta cheese. I never use salt.
Yes! Thank you. Some cooks are peeling beets. So glad you showed the fast, easy way.
hi Dani I always love to roast my beets in the oven with turnips, rutabaga, carrots, and red onion all cut up the same size so they cook evenly. A little olive oil, salt and pepper. YUM!
Lately one of the local grocers has been carrying beets with the most luscious greens attached. (The talented Hutterite farmers here are able to grow and harvest quite late in the year). I lucked out a few days ago while picking my bunches of beets and someone before me had actually removed the greens from what looked like would have been 3 bunches, and set them neatly aside. Can’t imagine anyone not loving beet greens! The grocer said I could have them to add to my bag so I ended up with a whole lot of extra free greens, yum!
You are a Freegan.
Just learned a lot. Had to run in the kitchen when you said take the greens of. I had them on for 2 days and didn't even know they were going bad. Thanks 😘
Thank youuuuu!!! These beets turned out sooo yummy and they almost went bad!
My most favourite vegetable. Beet, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onions make a good salad.
Yes I agree, I love that salad! I use raw beetroot to make fresh juice and mix with carrot and apple...tastes delicious. Take care, Gareth
I'm from Ethiopia we boil best, potato, and carrot with the skin until it tender, pile cut in medium size, on fray pan cooke with oil and salt for about ten minutes, add chopped onions and cook for five minutes and add hlapino pepper and serve, it can be eaten by itself or with any kind of food as a side dish very delicious 😋😋
Here is a tasty recipe my ex husband had me make. He was from the Ukraine. Take a few pounds of red beets, scrub clean and boil in their jackets until soft. When cool enough to handle, rub the peeling off or use a knife. They slide off easily. Grate in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a few, depending on how much you like, minced fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped walnuts or pecan bits. Add a cup or two of sour cream, depending on taste, and fresh or dried dillweed. Mix thoroughly and add more dill if you want. The colors of the beets and dill are beautiful in a crystal serving bowl!
Michelle Evans Sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome :)
This is very good with cabbage rolls too ☺
Michelle Evans TY❤ had this before and now you are sharing the recipe.
TY will enjoy making this❤❤❤
@@f.margaretellisonmabe1817 well i guess the tv show stole it from us. Because we russians have been cooking it that way for years 😚
You can also juice beets in most standard juicers (I use a K&K juicer). It mixes well with carrot juice. And the leaves can be juiced in a wheat grass juicer. But beet leaves raw in a salad are great.
Me too! I make fresh raw beetroot juice, mixed with carrot and apple...tastes delicious and super good for you. Take care, Gareth
@@riversidewithme de
I'm trying them for the first time today. I bought one and am gonna stem it like you did. Thanks for the video.
Baked in the oven, drizzled with a little Avocado oil or oil of choice in foil, they're like candy!!! Sprinkle with a little salt, DELICIOUS!!! 👍❤👍
Great Presentation I loved it and enjoyed your comment. God Bless you
That's the way i cook my beets always ! If you mix a little fresh garlic or horse radish in, it taste a lot lot better, we have almost every day this beet salad, especially in winter time. I usually buy 10 pounds beets at the time ,make the salad with everything in, il'l stay in the fridge up to three weeks, the more it stays the better il'l taste!
MihaelaV68 yum!
Fantastic! All my questions answered. Thanks.
Great video! I’ve never cooked beets before, but a recipe I’m using is calling for them and this was super informative. I won’t have a stained wood chopping board or waste the greens now!
I grates red garbage with beets and used some for souped, it is absolutely delicious and healthy.
Thanks for the info. We tried leaving the skins on when we ate them and they were really good. Also, we tried sauteeing the greens with spinach. So good.
From now im gonna cook my own beets!
Thank you so much for sharing. I've always ate my beets out of the can. I know it's bad, but I never knew what to do with the raw form. Thanks for the tutorial. Love your videos :)
just made a beet power beet smoothie, I use almond milk to make mine with, its delicious.
I have made pickled beets, they are so good with pinto beans or great northern beans and cornbread , yum yum !
I love ❤️ beets so much! I wash them real good, Then I cook them and save the water 💧 from the beets, and then let it get cold and drink it as a cold red water. Love it.
Gregoria Arteaga very nice!
@@JMrealgamer I'll try it!
I do the Same thing.
That's a great tip ...need to learn how to eat them
Yesterday I made for the very first time borscht. It's awesome. I'll be making it on a daily basis. At least once a week.
I Love ❤️ your channel!
Blessings to you and your family!
Thanks for your wisdom!
Have a wonderful day and week!

Gr8 info, thanks. I juice my beet roots & saute the greens in a little (avocado, grapeseed or olive) oil, salt & pepper.
And the Beet goes on🎶 the beet goes on 🎶Sonny & Cher would be proud of you 👍
Rapper's Delight.
Sounds good! I was going to get some beets this week and I'm so thankful for this video. I would have done everything all wrong. I would have cut the root off and the top and thrown away the greens.
She didn't mention...fresh beets, make your urine and bowels look like blood. So if you're eating fresh beets don't panic.....your ok.
Bowels yes. Urine no.
@@jerrylisby5376 Does mine
Thank you
I know! I always think ive just come on my period after a poo 🙈
Fortunately, only my poop turns red, not my urine when I eat beets 😆😊
My go to, and now ONLY recipe I keep for chocolate cake is 'Chocolate-Beet Layer Cake' by Fine Cooking Magazine. People come up to me at gatherings, who say they don't typically like chocolate cake and swoon over this cake, then fall over when I tell them beets is what makes the cake so moist and delicious. This recipe was popular in Colorado for some time, whos first bumper crop, historically, was sugar beets, in the late 1800's. Thanks for the 101 on Beets!
Love beats, I buy them pretty often. But instead of steaming or cooking in the water I wrap them in the foil and bake. That way my beets are more flavorful😄❤️
you are the most sweetest voice informational person......love to listen and watch your videos
so.......I have a solution to staining....i scour and use a non toxic cleaner in my sink and work out of that......as far as a recipe......mine goes directly into pickled beets with boiled eggs...makes a good salad and fast lunch......thank you for your videos
Great info. Thank you! I actually went to the store after and bought beets and followed instructions just as you have said. Then, forwarded this video to family. Niiiiccceeee.
I peel mine with a potato peeler! Slice them up then saute in a pan with butter salt and pepper! So Delicious
Hot with butter pepper & salt is good.
Love this recipe. Take one beet for each person. Wash them then slice them into rounds as thick as you like. (The thicker they are the longer they take to cook)Put a tbspOlive or coconut oil in a pan with 1 tbsp butter. Gently cook the beets in this for 15 mins then turn. Spoon over some balsamic vinegar and some maple syrup (or honey). About a desserspoon of each. Cook until tender. Yum.
Won't the oil and butter dry up before the beets cook,??.. Looks like the beets takes about 30 +, mins to cook
Or should you cook it in water 1st and then follow your recipe?
"did not know what I was doing, so glad I found you, Thank-you to help me, just subscribed, love del"
Thank you for an excellent tip for one of my favourite vegetables !!
I roast mine, take the skins off, chop like you did evoo, wine vinegar, a little chiffonade of fresh mint, salt and pepper, and goat cheese and omgosh what a delicious pairing!
Absolutely terrific video that's perfectly presented to include much valuable information. Thank you very much!!!
My trick: after finishing a jar of Bread & Butter Chips, I clean and chop my red beets into cubes and marinate them in the juice in the jar. After about a day in the frig, the cubes come out crisp and tasting like Bread & Butter Chips.
i love beets, could eat them every other day, soo good :) i grow them in my garden, but they need another month until i can enjoy them

I have just started to develop my culinary skills and I want to cook beets for my family. The staining of the juice puts me off. However after listening to you, I realize the benefits....thanks, I must persevere!
A beet-berry smoothie is so great and has also an amazing color! ;)
Made some golden beets per your instruction. Butter, Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper. Yum! Thanks!
Thanks Dani for these sweet tips, watched your video last night and just bought some beets to roast and add to my salad! I watch your videos on my phone- it'd be awesome if you linked the videos you talk about in the description below.. about cooking the leaves of the beets.
Hugs
Just recently roasted some beets with Olive oil, salt & pepper. I peeled them before I cooked them with a potato peeler, wore food service gloves & used a plastic cutting mat...the mess was minimal & they peeled pretty easily.
Im suddenly beet crazy. Been doing research on beets and think i should start eating them.
Did Dwight bite you
Q
Ok I ate some and realize I will not get into beets after all.
@@outerlimit9752 Good to hear a 4 year update!
Thank you. At 4:22 she inserts them into a steam basket and then steams for AT LEAST 30 min. Mine took about an hour. Maybe a little more. Thanks again.
You have the best videos. That amount of useful information you provide viewers with is insane. It blows my mind that anyone will hit the thumbs down icon. Keep up the fantastic work.
8d8d .8d8d Thank you so much! I really appreciate it:)
I appreciate the sharing of this information! Thank you!
Fabulous 101 video! I used to absolutely hate the taste of beets. I've recently been drinking beet kvass and am starting to actually like the taste of beets. It's amazing how our tastes change.
yes! thats why we have to be willing to try and try again. Great point!
I used to hate the taste of MOST vegetables.... when I was a kid in the 50's and 60's, I don't know if availability was an issue or because my mother was a home-ec major (canned may have been cheaper), but even though we did HAVE vegetables at every meal, they were all canned (not home canned...factory canned. YUK) and I still can't eat canned vegetables. I thought spinach was the nastiest thing ever grown until I grew up and had fresh spinach; two completely different animals (so to speak)... I'm so glad to have found this channel! I started trying to garden this year and am looking forward to planting fall vegetables....been watching all the garden gurus and they're my heroes, BUT, they don't say what to do with them. Yeah, I know squash and lettuce, but kale and chard and REAL beets... now I'll know! I'm planning on planting tons of squash (summer squash didn't make fruit???), beets and chard for fall and hoping the weather will relent in time (central Texas) and now that I'm HERE, I'll know how to fix them! That'll help, huh? LOL Thanks for all your videos. I'm on a video marathon today...catching up. It's WAY too hot to garden right now.
@@freewaybaby I know what you mean about the taste of canned vegs compared to fresh, canned taste nothing like the fresh which are so delicious :)
@@freewaybaby We always had canned or frozen. I was ok with veggies then, but I really appreciate them more as an adult. I have some beets growing in my garden right now, but I've got so many weeds that they may not be producing much. This is my first year with beets and I can hardly wait.
Thanks so much for this info. I had no idea what to do with beets so I avoided them. Now I'm putting them in my smoothies.
Thanks! I'm in the process of growing my first batch of beets and can't wait to eat them. Alot of your tips I didn't know about.
when you grow them you will enjoy them more off-season I eat them out of the can with my salad
Great, now I know how to process the beets that I have managed to grow myself.
Perfect! Excellent information and great presentation!
Last year, after juicing some beets I was given, I put the beet and carrot pulp from my juicing excursion into my asparagas soup. All that needs is some berries for dessert and it's a nice cancer repellant meal.
Such a useful and easy to follow video! Thank you!
I hate beets, but LOVE the greens. But then, I like most greens, sautéed in olive oil and garlic, some chili flakes, salt/pepper, a bit of water when needed. My mother loves beets, so when she bought them, she cooked them, I had the greens with some pasta and a bit of Italian cheese, YUM!!
I make the perfect smoothie using raw beats . I take one cup of ice cold water , one lemon , one beat , a hand full of berries and a clove of ginger .Blend it in a blender and drink it like a smoothie . This is a natural energy booster .
mallen4000 ok
Sounds great Mallen4000, do you peel raw beet skin first or throw unpeel beet in blender? Thanks :-)
Are pickled beets as healthy as fresh?
A hip hop beat or country beat?
Super tips for uses and preparing beets. I have lots in my fridge and now go ahead and have some as my first meal today. Thanks A lot
Love your channel! ❤️. Trying to eat healthier.....steaming 2 beets right now so that I can incorporate them into a delicious salad!! TFS!!
My fave way to cook beets is to wrap them individually in foil and roast in the oven , then slip the skin off and prepare a harvard sauc then cube the beets and mix into sauce and freeze in the sauce! Ta- daah ready in minutes for your meal .. HARVARD BEETS EXTRAORDINAIRE,!… best..cheryl🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow i bought beets yesterday after a very long time , how does RUclips knows i don’t know much about beets but i wanted to?! Wooah
Because it is secretly listening to you
BETTY BOOP so sacry
Thank you so much! I love beets. Can't wait to steam them and have them add color to my meals.
Couple of things you could have mentioned is that beets should be used up in the fridge right away and the reason you don't want to peel them is because cutting into them leaks out more of the goodness while they cook.
Your kitchen setup is perfect. Please make a video on how to set up a perfect kitchen
This is beet gospel, I watch it every time I get yummy fresh beets.
Beet juice my daily routine
It's good for health ?
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Thy Beet?

Hey Dani. I Love beets. Last fall was definitely a beet obsession time for me.
I like to boil them and then keep the water and use it for various things. Its great in yogurt with dijon and vineger for a salad dressing. Also ive cooked my rice in the water and tgat works well also.
Never used the greens though but im gone get on that :p
Thank youu love your videos
you are very welcome. thanks for sharing your tips!

You’ve been having leg cramps and was looking for some potassium magnesium pills and had no idea all I had to do was juice some beats her eat some beats and stop eating them for a while and I love them so now I’m back on the beats just bought some golden ones yesterday and I roasted some red ones couple weeks ago and now I can use them make them in a salad eaten raw thank you for how to prepare them with the cooking and then rubbing off the skin and then right ahead my favorites growing up were pickled beets and Harvard beats oh my God I could eat them every week who’s my favorite vegetable To prepare!
4:23 minutes, she finally gets into how to cook them.
Hi Dani! In Serbia we add horseradish to this type of salad that you prepared. Wow, is that delicious 😋 don’t use cream horseradish, just the straight stuff. A must try.
Beets also help to detoxify your liver so that your thyroid gland will function better! Thank you for another superb video! I'm getting into the beets and will be experimenting with new recipes!!!
Love beets
I buy a 10lb bag in the fall when they go for $5. I wash them very well , store them in freezer for several months until I run out. Then I'm stuck buying beets during winter months, 2 lb bag for $3. ugh ! I don't bother removing the skin. I just cooked them in a stew instead of using potatoes. yummy... no need to add any sugar, naturally sweetness.
Great Tips using gloves or oil on my hands
When handling Beets! I think I’ll go for the gloves, don’t wanna waste my good oil on the beets for preparing them until ready for including oil in or no in A recipe! Video
Very information!
Just wash your hands!
4:18; This is great. Thank you! I will now use them more with this method.
I love oven roasted beets served with the beet greens sautéed in olive oil and balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. Yum!
sounds amazing!
Beet greens are my favorite greens. So delicious.
YUM!
Beet smoothie is so good. 1 cooked beet cold, handful of raspberries, handful of blackberries, these can be frozen add water or coconut water, blend. Sounds yuk but it’s my favourite. Can use strawberries too.
...rub your hands with oil and your hands will not be stained with beets... practical tip
Use Rubber Kitchen Gloves... practical tip
That a practical tip for a white person...I get beet juice all over my hands and simply wash my hands and the redness go away
twistr your a tad racist , anyone uses kitchen gloves , your fucking pathetic.
Great tip with oil on hands, thanks!

I love beets on my salads. (Steamed first, served cold) So yummy.
Hi doc, I have about 700 moringa plants and they are ready for harvest but the problem is how to do the harvest, drying and preservation as well as the market. Can you advice please
Earthy sweet, best way to describe them 👌🏼
Damn, you sure know your beets. I definitely need to incorporate them in my diet and maybe this year I'll finally do it. Thanks, Dani, for the tips, and reminding me of this. My tip to you is to buy a few burgundy colored shirts.
I need to know this. I have only had beets juiced with apples and fresh ginger. 1 beet to 4-5 apples and a thumb sized ginger. Tastes like a liquid sweet tart. 😋
Mmmm sounds good AND healthy! I will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing!
Very Professional! You speak extremely well. Thank you.
