How to Cut Beets

Fresh beets add vibrant color to many dishes, but they’re also nutrition-packed and taste great.

When it comes to cutting them, a sharp knife is required to easily cut through the dense beetroot.

When cutting red beets, consider wearing food-safe gloves so your hands don’t get stained by the bright red juice. To prevent beet juice from staining your cutting board, wash the board immediately after cutting.
