Golden beets

What is Golden beets?

Golden beets are a yellow-orange beet variety with a milder, sweeter, less earthy flavor than red beets and no bleeding, so they won't stain a plate. Sold loose or bunched with tops, medium globe size.

Roasted and shaved into salads at New American spots, where chefs like them because they don't bleed onto goat cheese or greens. Pickled for sandwiches, thin-sliced raw in crudo and grain bowls, and pureed for a bright, sweet side.

What's behind the price

NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on golden beets can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year (down about 17% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the Northeast

Northeast peak runs summer into fall, roughly June through October, with regional cold-storage roots available into winter.

Per case or per pound?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Buy bunched if you want the greens for sautéing, or topped for longer hold. Pick firm roots of even size for consistent roast times; soft or shriveled beets are old. Trim tops to an inch and store roots and greens separately.
