Beets can rightfully be called one of the most important components in the preparation of borscht, so the choice of vegetables should be approached very carefully.
Not every beetroot is an ideal choice for soup.
The point is that the coloring properties of the ingredient may vary.
Why an experienced housewife won't use large beets for borscht
At first glance, it may seem that a large vegetable could be an ideal option: just one piece is enough to prepare a large portion of borscht.
However, it is worth choosing a small vegetable.
Large beets are absolutely not suitable for soup, as their color does not hold. As a result, the borscht will turn out orange at best and not so rich in terms of taste.
Even "color fixers" such as lemon juice, tomato paste or vinegar won't help.
But a small beetroot will help you prepare borscht of a very impressive color, which you won’t be ashamed to put on the table.
