When cooking beetroot (beets) it is advisable to leave them uncut. Do not cut the stems or roots off until they have been cooked. This way you will have a darker and more flavourful beet, just wash them well and check for insects in the stalks which can be cut to about 1/2"" in length, then boil for the required time dependent on the size.
