How to quickly cook large beets without losing color and flavor: an unusual method

Beetroot is a popular and healthy root vegetable that housewives often use when preparing various dishes.

However, there is a nuance: the root vegetable requires a long cooking time. Sometimes you have to cook beets for up to an hour and a half or more, and this is very tiring and not everyone will like it.

Features of cooking beets

Medium-sized root vegetables will cook completely in 30 minutes, others will need 45 minutes, and giant beets will take less than an hour.

The cooking process of beets will be delayed if the beets are placed in cold water.

The low starch content and high fiber concentration of root vegetables will cause the cooking time to be even longer.

To cook beets faster, choose flattened fruits with thin skin.

Cooking trick

After the water boils, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook the beets in a plastic bag.

The original cooking method will help you prepare the vegetable much faster and will preserve its rich taste and aroma.

Place the root vegetables in a plastic bag and add one teaspoon of sugar. This way, the beets will not lose their rich color and aroma during the cooking process.

Tie the bag tightly and release the air from it, put it in a pan with boiling water. The cooking procedure takes from 30 to 60 minutes.

Place the prepared beets in cold water and after 5-10 minutes they can be used.
