Buyer's guide

Look for small beetroots with the stalks still intact.

Storage

To store fresh beetroot, cut off the leafy tops and then place to dry in a single layer in a wooden or cardboard box.

Preparation

To cook wash - but don鈥檛 peel - the beetroot and either boil, steam or bake until tender. Once cool enough, the outer skin should be rubbed off. To avoid stained hands, wash them and anything else you鈥檝e used as soon as possible. Beetroot leaves and stems can also be eaten: cook them as you would any other spring greens.
