Picking (harvesting) Beets

One of the best things about beets is that both the roots and the tops can be harvested. The tops can be used in salads, soups or just plain steamed the same manner as spinach or Swiss chard. Beets should be harvested when the roots are one to three inches in diameter. The smaller the root, the more tender they will be when eaten. Beet roots larger than 4 inches in diameter could very well be hard and woody. You can store beets by removing the tops to about 1 inch above the root and then placing them in plastic bags. This will help to keep them from dehydrating and becoming soft. Refrigerating them will help to extend freshness.
