Seasonality: Year RoundOrigin: USAMelissa’s Baby Gold Beets are about the size of a golf ball with a lush foot of rich green tops, named because of gold found on the exterior and w hen you cut the beets in half. The hearty mild flavor of gold beets is a tender variety and not as strong as common large beets. Baby Beets are much more tender and sweet than regular beets. The beets can be prepared by steaming, microwaving or sautéing. While they are also great for pickling, these beets make a colorful and hearty addition to soups and salads. Herbs make a wonderful combination with sautéed beets; Try adding parsley, basil, dill or chives with cooked beets to enhance the dish. The dark green tops offer a hearty flavor and can be cooked with the roots, although the root is usually more favored over the greens. Melissa’s Baby Gold Beets are picked when crisp and firm to touch. Choose beets with smooth skin. Store up to 2 weeks in a plastic bag in the refrigerator without tops. Store up to 1 week with tops. Cook beets before peeling. Show more
