Gold beets are a vibrant root vegetable with a sunny golden-yellow flesh and a slightly milder, sweeter flavor than their red counterparts. Their earthy taste is gentle and less intense, with subtle notes of nuttiness that make them versatile in both raw and cooked dishes. When roasted, their natural sugars caramelize beautifully, bringing out a rich, honeyed depth. Unlike red beets, they don’t bleed color, making them easier to handle in the kitchen.
