Select healthy roots without rot or damage will free them, if necessary, from tops and roots, wash well with cold water.

If do you take a lot of beet in a bucket or barrel, you can leave the roots intact, and especially large of them cut in half. For pickling in a jar , the beets will have cut into small pieces, pre-clearing it from the skin.

Tightly place the beets in a jar or bucket, trying to leave as little space as possible between the individual pieces. Prepare the brine at the rate of 0.5 kg of salt per 10 liters of water. Pour the pickle root vegetables. The liquid should cover them by 3-5 centimeters. Push the contents of oppression and leave in a warm room for 10 days.

Periodically check the bowl with the beets, if necessary remove the resulting foam, drain the excess of the resulting brine.
