Storage Method：The newly harvested beetroot should not be stored in the cellar immediately, because the metabolism of the beetroot at this time is still active, which promotes the temperature of the cellar and facilitates the re-germination of roots. So, the freshly harvested beetroots are briefly stored for a month under 15 cm thick soil. It does not need to be refrigerated for storage and should be washed before cooking to keep it fresh. Once it is cut, it should be placed in the pot immediately to avoid the loss of vitamins due to oxidation by the air.
