What is beetroot relish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beetroot relish is a condiment made by combining shredded beets with other fruits, vegetables, and spices. Traditionally, the relish is pickled with vinegar; however, this recipe calls for fermentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like beetroot relish made with vinegar, fermentation gives the beets a pleasantly tart flavor. Only, that sour flavor comes from the lactic acid naturally released during the fermentation process rather than the acetic acid found in vinegar. As a result, the relish is rich in beneficial bacteria just like kimchi<\/a>, sauerkraut<\/a>, and sour pickles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
