As soon as the water starts to boil, the root vegetable should be cooked for another half hour. Then the beetroot should be put under cold water for 20 minutes. It is better to put the vegetable in a bowl with cold water and ice. The water should be changed several times during this time.

The temperature difference brings the vegetable to readiness and cools it down at the same time.

There is another option. To do this, wrap raw beets in foil and put them in the oven for 20-30 minutes. It is advisable to bake them at 190 degrees.

In this case, the product will retain all its beneficial elements and will be juicier and tastier.
