Beetroot, 1kg

Fresh Beetroot 1kg is 1kg of fresh beetroot — the earthy, sweet root vegetable that works beautifully raw, roasted, pickled or pureed. Fresh beetroot is a world apart from the pre-cooked, vinegared variety. In particular, it has a deep, clean earthiness and a natural sweetness that cooking only intensifies. As a result, roasting at a low temperature in its skin produces a beetroot of extraordinary depth of flavour. Furthermore, it suits both classic and contemporary preparations.

About Fresh Beetroot 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Fresh Beetroot 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Beetroot 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Fresh Beetroot 1kg

To get the very best from Fresh Beetroot 1kg:

• Wrap individual beetroots in foil and roast at 180°C for 45 to 60 minutes until completely tender — the skins slip off easily once cool.
• Alternatively, boil in salted water for 30 to 40 minutes and dress while warm with olive oil and vinegar.
• Furthermore, fresh beetroot makes an outstanding velvet soup or a dramatic bright pink risotto.
• Additionally, grate raw and dress with lemon, olive oil and horseradish for a vibrant and striking raw salad.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Beetroot 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good goats cheese or aged feta — the definitive beetroot pairing
• Fresh horseradish, dill or a walnut and balsamic dressing
• A light Pinot Noir, Gamay or a chilled dry rosé alongside
• Smoked fish, duck breast or walnuts as the main plate companion

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate. Root vegetables keep well for several days after delivery. Furthermore, most roots can be peeled in advance and stored in cold water. However, use as soon as possible for the finest flavour and texture. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Fresh Beetroot 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
