Care and Handling

Ideal Temperature: 33 F. To avoid damage, store in pallet boxes or crates rather than bulk containers. Beets are subject to wilting because of rapid water loss and should be kept in sufficiently high humidity.

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.
