I reckon a delicious way to enjoy this ferment is adding it to wild rice and feta with fresh herbs, or another idea is mixing with Puy lentils and add a tahini and lemon juice dressing. I also think it is simply divine in a gorgonzola sourdough toastie. Anything where you want to add a touch of colour or a slightly sweet hint of flavour. Eve Kalinik

Didn’t love the flavour
I was bored of pickled beetroot and its tang and the frustrations of fresh beetroot going off. This combines the two into one. Fermented beetroot with the fresh taste of fresh but the ability to last longer than two days int he fridge. An awesome compliment to any cheese board meat board or stuffed in a full sarnie.
Can’t beet this as a great way of making your beetroot last longer if you struggle to eat it fresh before it goes mouldy. Plus you get all the benefits of the good bacteria bubbling away. Easy slices and bits to perch on your plate, an ultra useful ferment to get your plate growing all colours.
