As a culinary expert with years of experience preserving produce, here's reliable advice on keeping beets fresh.
Summer Beets
Raw summer beets with leaves attached stay fresh for about a week in the fridge. Without leaves, they last around three days.
Winter Beets
Available from October to April, these larger beets without foliage store well for extended periods in a cool, dark place.
Cooked Beets
Refrigerate cooked beets for up to two days or freeze for a maximum of twelve months.
Blanched Beets
Blanched beets keep in the freezer for up to 12 months.
→ Always trust your senses alongside these guidelines—if in doubt, check for spoilage.
