This healthy vegetable has a great taste and is a great addition to lunch or dinner. This product is also great for making holiday salads.

But it happens that the whole root vegetable is not used at once if too much beetroot was prepared. Responsible housewives usually feel sorry to throw away the product.

Therefore, you need to pay attention to an unusual cooking method that helps to keep the vegetable fresh for a long time.

How to cook beets

You need to add a little citric acid to the water. Just a pinch is enough.

It is advisable to add this product closer to the end of cooking the root vegetable.

If there is no citric acid in the kitchen, you can use alternative products. Vinegar or lemon juice will do.

As a result, the acid will make the boiled root vegetable not only less susceptible to rapid spoilage, but will also give it a rich burgundy color and a brighter taste.
