Storage

To keep your beetroots fresh and crisp, store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in the refrigerator. If you cut or peel beetroots, store the pieces in an airtight container in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to a week. Avoid washing beetroots until just before use to prolong shelf life.
