Cooking beets, as we know, is not a quick process, but it can be sped up, and significantly so.

We'll tell you what you need to add to the water when boiling beets so that they cook in half an hour.

How to Boil Beets in 30 Minutes

First, it is important to choose the right root vegetable. Beets for cooking should be medium-sized (no more than 10 centimeters in diameter).

The skin should be thin, dark red, preferably without damage. One of the best varieties for cooking is considered to be Bordeaux.

Regardless of the cooking method, beets must be washed well, the tops cut off, if any, and the tail shortened a little.

To speed up the cooking process, simply place the beets in already boiling water and add two or three tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Do not reduce the heat to minimum. After half an hour, remove the pan with beets from the stove and place it under cold water.
