Before you put them in there, trim the greens. Cooked beets and any leftovers should go in an airtight container and into the refrigerator as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beets prefer cold (32-40&deg;F or 0-5&deg;C) and moist (90 to 95 percent relative humidity) storage (<a href=\"#refs\">[UOM]<\/a>). While the crisper drawer isn&rsquo;t the coldest place in the fridge, it&rsquo;s the most humid one, and that&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s the optimal choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-paragraph-tip\">If your veggie drawer is full of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/can-broccoli-go-bad\/\">broccoli<\/a>, lettuce, tomatoes, and other veggies, put the beets on one of the shelves. It&rsquo;s not that big of a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before you refrigerate your beets, trim the greens to like half an inch (<a href=\"#refs\">[UOM]<\/a>). In supermarkets, the greens are often already cut (to extend the shelf life of beets), so that might be done for you already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use the greens (they&rsquo;re perfectly safe to eat), store them separately. Otherwise, they&rsquo;ll draw moisture from the root (the part that you eat). If you store <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/how-long-do-radishes-last\/\">radishes<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/can-carrots-go-bad\/\">carrots<\/a> for an extended period, you probably know that already.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Grated beets closeup\" class=\"wp-image-2672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-800x534.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Grated beets closeup\" class=\"wp-image-2672 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-800x534.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-500x334.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup.jpg.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Grated-beets-closeup.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Grated beets closeup<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to storing these root veggies, a perforated plastic bag is probably the best option.
