Badger Flame beets have a sweet, buttery flavour with very little of the heavy earthiness found in standard red beets. Because of their mild, sweet nature, they can be enjoyed with a wide range of foods. This recipe also includes some Nordic-style seasonings, which make it the perfect accompaniment for Smørrebrød (Danish open-faced sandwiches) with smoked or pickled fish, cold roast rare beef or rich charcuterie, or perhaps (just) the BFB Ferment. The light tang and sourness naturally introduced during the fermentation combined with the sweetness means that it also works well with blue cheese, creamy cheeses and ricotta, especially on bread with lots of nuts and seeds. For a rich autumnal or wintery meal, serve alongside wild meats, like venison - which benefits from the background mouthwarming feel of the horseradish and the clean, grassy notes of the dill, combined with the sweetness of the beets. Like almost all of our ferments, this recipe works well as a condiment - try it with roast beef. 

Storage – Keep refrigerated to control the fermentation. The contents may gently pop (this is a good thing) or overflow a little.
