So, to start with, you'll want to trim the leaves off your beetroot, because they're like little water-sucking machines that will make your beetroot all sad and wilted. Just trim them off, and voila! Your beetroot is ready for storage. It's like giving them a little haircut, but instead of hair, it's leaves.
Next up, you'll want to wash and dry your beetroot, because, let's face it, cleanliness is next to beetroot-liness. Just kidding, but seriously, you want to make sure they're free of any dirt or debris that might make them go bad. It's like giving them a little spa day, where they get to relax and unwind.
How To Store Beets From The Garden: Long-Term
Now, here's the part where things get really interesting. You can store your beetroot in the fridge, where they'll keep for like, a few weeks. Or, you can store them in a cool, dark place, like a pantry or cellar, where they'll keep for even longer. It's like choosing between a city apartment and a cozy little cottage in the countryside.
