  • There is no need to peel the beets; wash and trim the ends.
  • Ginger, no need to peel, wash, and cut into small pieces

Step-by-Step to Washing Beets

  1. Rinse Under Cool Water: Place the beets in a colander and rinse them under cool running water to remove any loose dirt or debris.
  2. 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.
  3. Trim the Ends: Cut off the leafy greens and root tips with a sharp knife. The greens can be saved and used in sautés or soups.
  4. 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.

Tips for Perfect Citrus Ginger Beet Juice

  1. Balance the Sweetness: If the juice from the beets tastes too earthy, add a carrot or a small apple or pear for natural sweetness.
  2. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh beets and citrus greatly difference flavor and nutrient content. Juices are for fresh produce!
  3. Get Creative: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or turmeric for an extra health boost.
  4. Juice Prep Hack: Peel and chop ingredients in advance. Store them in airtight containers or silicone bags in the fridge for up to 2 days to save time or freeze them.
  5. Start small. Begin with a small glass of juice and gradually increase the amount. Also, start with smaller pieces of ginger, as it is very potent in flavor and can even have a spicy taste.
