I just used a pH meter to test some baked beets, and I got a pH of 6.15.
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.
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.
Sugar beets can be turned into beet sugar

you can store beets about 3 months.
yes
Beets are vegetables, not fruits.
Yes, beets have nitric oxide; but it can only be released when the beets are juiced.
The Greek word for "Beets" is "τεύτλα".
