Step-by-Step to Washing Beets
- Rinse Under Cool Water: Place the beets in a colander and rinse them under cool running water to remove any loose dirt or debris.
- Scrub Gently: Use a vegetable brush or a clean sponge to scrub the surface of the beets. Focus on areas where dirt is stuck, especially around the stem and root ends.

- Dry: Pat the beets dry with a clean kitchen towel if you’re not using them immediately, especially for storage.
Pro Tip:
Leafy Tops: Rinse the beet greens separately by soaking them in a bowl of water to remove grit, then dry thoroughly before storing.
To Avoid Stains: Beets can stain your hands and cutting board. Wear gloves and use a plastic or glass cutting board if you’re concerned about stains.
