pickled beet
Preserved crimson vegetable
Pickled beets are beets preserved in a vinegar-based brine, giving them a tangy flavor that complements their natural earthiness and sweetness.
They appear as a side dish, salad topping, or condiment, their deep magenta juice famously staining everything it touches: The pickled beets bled all over the plate.
