Many delicious salads are prepared with the addition of boiled beets, so it is worth learning how to cook the root vegetable correctly.

Some housewives note that when cooked in the usual way, beets lose their color and become tasteless.

For this reason, many people choose to bake in the oven instead of boiling. The root vegetable not only preserves all its vitamins, but also turns out much tastier. If you can't use the oven, you can try one clever trick - add vinegar during cooking.

What is the point of this trick?

Vinegar is a well-known "color fixer" that is often used in cooking. For example, it is included in borscht for this reason.

Adding a little liquid to a pot of beets will help preserve the brightness of the root vegetable and improve its taste.

The vinegar must be introduced correctly.

Wait until there are literally ten minutes left until the end of cooking. Then pour in two spoons of liquid. As a result, the salad will be of higher quality and tastier.
