I just used a pH meter to test some baked beets, and I got a pH of 6.15.
A slightly acidic vegetable, this pH range would include asparagus, beans, and beets.
Boiling tends to remove some of the blueish-red coloring so that boiled beets appear pale compared to raw beets. However, the color (betanin, not anthocyanin as once thought) is sensitive to pH and can go a yellow-brownish color in alakaline water, or more reddish in acidic water. Adding a little vinegar to the water will maintain the red color. Boiling for an extended time will turn the beets brown.
