Produce Spotlight: Bunch Beets

Avatar for AdminAdmin

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.

Recipe courtesy of therealfooddietitians.com

Ingredients 

Directions

  1. Chop off the bottom 1/2″ of the broccoli rabe stems. Rough chop 5 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a large deep pan, sauté the garlic for 2-3 minutes in a 1/4 cup of olive oil set to medium-low heat.
  3. Add the broccoli rabe to the pan and give it all a stir as best as possible to coat with the olive oil. Just pack it in the pan as it will reduce substantially during the next step.
  4. Add a 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover. Turn heat to medium-high and let the broccoli rabe steam for 3-4 minutes until bright green. Remove lid and season with 1 tsp of kosher salt and if desired a 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes. Mix the broccoli rabe with a wooden spoon and sauté for 2-3 more minutes. Turn off the heat and drizzle a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on top. Enjoy!
