Recipe: How to Freeze Beets

Preserving - Other
In all honesty, I have never frozen beets. I only can mine.
When freezing any foods, the cell walls break down.
Freezing

Beets
Preparation - Select deep, uniformly-red, tender, young beets. Wash and sort according to size. Trim tops, leaving 1/2 inch of stems and tap root, to prevent bleeding of color during cooking.

Cook in boiling water until tender-for small beets 25 to 30 minutes; for medium beets 45 to 50 minutes.

Cool promptly in cold water. Peel, remove stem and tap root, and cut into slices or cubes. Package, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal and freeze.
