Care and Handling

Ideal temperature: 33 F. Should be kept in high humidity(98-100%) to avoid wilting from water loss. Keep in refrigeration and mist to prevent drying. Beets are somewhat sensitive to freezing but can be lightly frozen without serious damage.

Ratto Bros. follows and recommends the guidelines set forth by the Federal Department of Agriculture (FDA) about commercial and home users washing all produce thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking.
