How to grow delicious beets?

It should be noted that the color and taste of root crops depends not only on the variety, but also on the conditions of "life" and planting care. In order for the roots to be tasty and have a bright, beautiful color, the gardener needs to remember several important rules.

1. At elevated temperatures or after prolonged drought, the intensity of the color of the fruit decreases, and white fibrous rings appear on the cuts. In addition, the beet pulp becomes rough and tasteless.
2. Excess moisture is no less harmful to plantings than its prolonged absence. In this case, the root vegetables become excessively large, acquire a watery taste, and voids form inside, which makes the beets unsuitable for storage.

   Recommendations for watering beets

3. Beets should not be planted immediately after applying organic fertilizers to the soil, otherwise the fruits will taste bitter.
4. Do not shade the plantings too much, as this reduces the content of sugar and dry matter in the pulp, on which the taste of beets depends.

Why beets are bitter and how to prevent it

With proper and timely care, any variety of beets will provide the gardener and his family with healthy roots, from which many delicious dishes can be prepared.
