Love Beets has announced a new product, Honey + Vinegar Diced Golden Beets. The beets are cooked with honey and vinegar to complement the flavor of the golden beetroot, the creator explains.
“We’re delighted to present a long anticipated, golden beet to our product line, with a recipe consisting of honey and vinegar marinade,” said George Shropshire, General Manager of Love Beets. “There has been a high demand for a golden beet offering since the beginning of Love Beets, and we are happy to provide a colourful, kid-friendly addition to our all natural, ready-‐to-‐eat beet products.”
He explained that they are looking to create a healthy alternative to other sweets for kids, capitalizing on golden beetroots natural sweeter flavor.
“As well as the remarkable yellow-gold color, golden beets are typically sweeter and less earthy–meaning more sweet and mellow than red beet,” shared Daniel Cross, the Production Facility’s Managing Director. “Golden beets have all the great nutrition and health benefits of red beets, but bring their vibrant bright yellow-gold color to salads, roasted vegetables, burgers, hot dogs, smoothies, and more.”
“Nutritionally, golden beets are very similar to red beets, and are packed with other antioxidants, potassium, and nitrate, which lower blood pressure,” Daniel mentions. “Golden beets are low calorie, a great source of fiber, and have a lot of calcium. We're thrilled to launch another product that maintains our commitment to providing healthy and convenient items.”
Love Beets will continue to harvest the golden beets from the western region of New York state. Local to their production facility, this New York harvest has already begun, and will continue through October. In the spring, they will continue to keep their harvest of golden beets in the USA, in the optimal growing states of Texas, Georgia and California.
