Freezing cooked /vacuum packed beetroot

3 replies

I bought some for the baby, but the adults in the house aren’t beetroot fans and the baby isn’t going to eat three beetroots in three days! Would they freeze ok in single serving portions for me to bring out for him? Or would they totally disintegrate on defrosting so he won’t be able to pick them up? The packaging doesn’t have freezing info either way.

I freeze ready cooked beetroot sometimes. Freezing does change the texture but it doesn't deteriorate into mush - it's just much softer. I even grate the defrosted beetroot for salads and it's...fine!

I have frozen before but won’t again

Massive beetroot lover here but they came a bit spongy after defrosting

It does go a bit soft/mushy when defrosted. I didn't like the texture and wouldn't freeze again.

If you/baby like hummuos, my solution is to turn them into beetroot hummous which freezes fine! (Just basically whizz up with chickpeas, oil, lemon, garlic, tahini/peanut butter optional.)
