The best way to store cooked beets in the fridge is to place the cooked beets in an airtight container.

When the cooked beets are stored in the fridge in an airtight container they will last for up to 5 days.

If you want to keep your cooked beets longer than 5 days you can place them in a freezer safe airtight container or freezer bags and they will last up to 3 months.

To store the cooked beets, let the cooked beets cool completely before placing them in an airtight container or zip-top bag.

You can also wrap the cooked beets tightly in plastic wrap, and store them in the crisper drawer of the fridge.

Prepare the beets by cooking them with ½ inch of their stem intact to minimize color bleed; then, cool them in cold water and remove the stems, taproot, and skin.

Next, cut the beets into slices or cubes, package them into freezer bags or containers with a ½-inch headspace, and freeze.

Things you can do when you have too many beets are to make things out of them such as relish, pickles, canning, sauerkraut, jam- the list goes on.
