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.
