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.

How to pick beets effectively for maximum freshness and flavor?

To pick beets effectively for maximum freshness and flavor, choose beets that are firm, with smooth skin and vibrant color. Look for small to medium-sized beets, as they tend to be sweeter and more tender. Avoid beets with soft spots or wilted greens. Harvest beets by gently pulling them out of the ground, being careful not to damage the roots. Store beets in the refrigerator, unwashed and with the greens removed, to maintain their freshness.
