Beetroot varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common beetroot varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Detroit Dark Red | Roasting, boiling, and juicing: deep crimson and sweet, the supermarket standard. |
| Golden | Salads and roasting: sweet, mild, and does not bleed onto other food. |
| Chioggia | Raw salads and plating: striking pink-and-white inner rings, mild and sweet. |
| Cylindra | Pickling and slicing: long and uniform, gives even rounds. |
Which should I pick?
For roasting, boiling, and juicing, Detroit Dark Red is the deep-crimson all-rounder and the supermarket standard. No Detroit? Cylindra is a long beet that slices into even rounds, handy for pickling. Reach for Golden when you want a sweet, non-bleeding beet for salads, or Chioggia for its striking pink-and-white rings raw.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the size of a medium beetroot?
- A medium beetroot weighs about 82 g, which works out to roughly 0.59 cups (0.61 US cups) of chopped flesh. Beetroot come in a range of sizes depending on the season, variety and where they were grown, so weight and cup figures shift accordingly. Use the size selector above to match what you actually have, then read the exact conversion for any amount.
- How much does an average beetroot weigh?
- An average beetroot is the same as a medium one: about 82 g. A small beetroot is lighter at around 60 g and a large one heavier at about 150 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts beetroot by the piece rather than by weight.
- How much does a large beetroot weigh?
- A large beetroot weighs about 150 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 82 g or a small one at 60 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger beetroot you actually have on the counter.
- How many grams of beetroot are in a cup?
- A cup of prepared beetroot comes to about 140 grams. Size does not move that figure, since a cup measures prepared flesh: a large beetroot and a small one fill it to the same weight. Counting whole beetroot is a different question, and the converter above answers that one by size.
- How much juice is in a beetroot?
- A beetroot yields approximately 50% of its weight in juice. That means a medium beetroot (82 g) yields about 41 ml, a small one (60 g) about 30 ml and a large one (150 g) about 75 ml. See the juice yield calculator if you are adding beetroot to your juice blend. Open the juice yield calculator
- How do I convert grams to ounces for any ingredient?
- Converting grams to ounces is pure weight maths that applies to any food, not just beetroot, so 200 grams is always 7.05 ounces. For other amounts, the weight converter at the link below handles grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms and stone in both directions. Grams to ounces converter
