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.

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.
