Golden Beet Balls
Miss the World Cup? We have a golden treat in our standard boxes this week - now introducing some organic golden balls in the form of golden beetroots.
Golden beetroot used to be popular in the nineteenth century, and is currently enjoying a revival for those in the know (like us!). It has a more subtle and milder flavour than regular beets and doesn't leave any stains on fingers and chopping boards. Its vibrant, bright yellow, which brings a splash of colour to any dish.
Although they're best used fresh, uncooked beetroot can keep for about 10 days in the fridge - trim the leafy tops to about 3cm above the bulb - this helps prolong its storage life.
Here are some recipe ideas (all tried and tested!):
