Beetroot varieties and best uses

GoldenSalads and roasting: sweet, mild, and does not bleed onto other food.
ChioggiaRaw salads and plating: striking pink-and-white inner rings, mild and sweet.
CylindraPickling 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.

A medium beetroot weighs about 82 g, with a small one around 60 g and a large one near 150 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts beetroot by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.

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.
