"I like to use golden beets for this recipe in particular because you are handling them quite a bit, and the golden variety won't stain your hands and utensils like the red will."
"The golden variety is mild on the earthiness, with a tad more sweetness. With the blend of apple cider vinegar, sugar, rice vinegar, mustard seed, cloves, ginger, and other spices, Hahn pickles the beets with, they take on a bold taste."
"Within 24 hours, the beets take on a salty, tangy flair that is a great add-on to a variety of recipes."
Golden beets serve as an excellent pickling vegetable, avoiding the staining issues associated with red beets. They provide a similar texture but with a milder, sweeter flavor. Recipe developer Miriam Hahn prefers golden beets for pickling due to their lack of betalains, which stain hands and utensils. The pickling brine, infused with spices like ginger and allspice, enhances the beets' taste, making them a versatile addition to salads, sandwiches, and burgers, adding a salty, tangy flair within 24 hours.
