Is it ok to juice or eat beets that have gone soft?!
Answers: I bought some beets last week. They went soft, when i cut them open they are bright red and appear healthy. is there anything i should worry about? im just juicing them. any farmers or health enthusiasts out there can help? I dont want to waste them but i dont want to make myself sick either.
No problem you can eat soft beets as long as they don't get white spots or blue spots. Beets get bitter when they are spoiled. Even bad beets won't make you very sick cause they still contain alot of iron! Beets contain more iron than spinach but the same can't be said for brussel sprouts.. they contain about the same amount as iron as Beets. I use soft sliced beets when I make my fake fried bologna!
Yes of course it is ok.
If they were mouldy, I would say thrown them out, but just being soft is fine.
