Produce Spotlight: Bunch Beets

A Vibrant Winter Staple from E. Armata Inc.

Bunch beets are one of the most nutrient-dense and versatile root vegetables available during the winter season. As a leading produce distributor located at the Hunts Point Produce Market in the Bronx, NY, E. Armata Inc. supplies high-quality beets to customers throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Their rich color, earthy flavor, and excellent storage life make them a popular choice for retailers, foodservice operators, and chefs looking to elevate winter menus.

Why Choose Bunch Beets?

Packed with Nutrition

Beets are naturally rich in fiber, folate, potassium, and antioxidants. The deep red pigments, called betalains, are known for their anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Both the root and the leafy greens offer health benefits, making bunches of beets a complete and versatile winter vegetable.

Ideal for Winter Cooking

During colder months, beets shine in recipes that offer warmth and nourishment. Their hearty texture makes them perfect for roasting, sautéing, pickling, or blending into soups. Many kitchens use beets to bring vibrant color to seasonal dishes, helping maintain visual appeal when other produce is less abundant.

How Foodservice & Retail Can Use Bunch Beets

1. Roasted Beet Medleys

Restaurants and commercial kitchens can pair roasted beets with carrots, onions, and other root vegetables, many of which are supplied by E. Armata Inc. to create colorful side dishes.

2. Fresh Beet Salads

Beets add a sweet, earthy element to winter salads. Combine roasted or shredded beets with herbs, tomatoes, or greens for a nutrient-dense option customers appreciate.

3. Beet Greens in Sautéed Dishes

The leafy tops are a valuable addition to sautéed vegetable blends, adding flavor and reducing food waste.

Ingredients 

  • 6 medium beetstops removed, scrubbed well
  • Extra-virgin olive oilfor drizzling
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place each beet on a piece of foil. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 35 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender. The timing will depend on the size and freshness of the beets.
  3. Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When the beets are cool to the touch, peel off the skins. You can hold them under running water and slide the skins off with your hands.
  4. Cut or slice the beets and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss, and serve.
