Dried beets
Captivating Crimson, and a Hidden Sweetness
Beets, familiar as a superfood due to their amazing nutritional value. As a relative of sugar beet, the raw material for beet sugar, they become even sweeter when dried. The captivating crimson color comes from betacyanin, a type of polyphenol. The red rehydrated liquid, rich in polyphenols, also adds color to dishes.
Beets are hard, making them time-consuming to peel, and if they come with soil, washing can be a hassle. Dried beets eliminate the need for pre-processing, and blanching to soften the earthy flavor is quicker than with fresh beets. Moreover, even when dried, beets retain their distinctive firm texture, and not only their sweetness but also their umami flavor is enhanced.
■ Beets are a familiar superfood
■ The vibrant crimson color is due to a type of polyphenol
■ No pre-processing required, such as washing off soil or peeling
■ Available in shredded and diced forms to suit your cooking needs
How to Use Dried Beets
Shredded
In addition to soups and stews like borscht, we recommend rehydrating them lightly and simmering with seasonings for kinpira, or dressing them with olive oil and your favorite vinegar for a carrot-rape-style dish.
Diced
In addition to soups and stews like borscht, you can boil them until soft for chopped salads, or mix them with potato salad. Taking advantage of their sweetness and texture, they can also be used as an ingredient in steamed buns or scones.
■ Great for stews like borscht, and also recommended for rapes and marinades
■ Their chunky texture makes them ideal for potato salad
