The pH of pickled beets typically ranges from 4.0 to 4.6. This acidity is primarily due to the vinegar or other acidic ingredients used in the pickling process. The low pH helps preserve the beets and contributes to their tangy flavor.
I just used a pH meter to test some baked beets, and I got a pH of 6.15.

Beets are ready to be picked when they reach a size of about 1 to 3 inches in diameter. You can gently pull one out of the ground to check its size. Additionally, the tops of the beets should be about 3 to 4 inches tall and the roots should feel firm when squeezed. Harvesting beets in the early morning is ideal for the best flavor and texture.
Red cabbage can be used as a pH indicator for a wide range of pH levels, showing different colors depending on the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. Similarly, beets can also be used as a pH indicator, turning different colors in acidic or basic solutions.
A vegetable with a pH of 5.3 would be considered mildly acidic on the pH scale. The pH scale ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most basic/alkaline), with 7 being neutral. pH values below 7 indicate acidity, so a vegetable with a pH of 5.3 falls into this category.

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.

you can store beets about 3 months.
Beets are vegetables, not fruits.
