What are Pickled Beets?
Pickled beets are beets which have been subjected to a pickling process. Pickling preserves the beets, sometimes for an extended period of time, making beets accessible during times of the year when fresh beets cannot be obtained. Some people also simply enjoy the flavor of pickled beets, either on their own or in salads. Many delis carry pickled beets, and they can also be made at home.
