How to properly store beets so that they don’t wilt: the right neighborhood in the cellar
Some summer residents have beets lying around from harvesting to sowing and nothing terrible happens to the root crops. Others have them wither and wrinkle, not having lasted even half the promised time.
You can write it all off to the fact that the vegetable was grown without observing agricultural rules, was harvested incorrectly, or come up with something else.
These moments are important and cannot be ignored. But at least the second half of success is related to storing vegetables.
And in order for the beets to last as long as possible, you shouldn’t leave them just anywhere, because not all vegetables have the same positive effect on each other in the cellar.
The best neighbor for beets in storage
To ensure that beets remain firm for as long as possible and do not lose their beneficial properties during storage, it is best to store them together with potatoes.
Practical gardeners place beets directly on top of potato tubers.
Vegetable tandem promises mutual benefit. Potatoes consume excess heat in storage.
The beetroot absorbs excess moisture in the room.
As a result, potatoes do not freeze or sprout, beets do not wilt, and in general, vegetables are stored longer with a minimal risk of becoming moldy or rotting.
