Hello, and welcome to BecomeInspired! In this video, I share the BEST way to steam beets. Beets are filled with vital nutrients, and if you steam them the wrong way, the nutrients escape into the water and leave the beet. Follow my instructions so you can steam your beets the best way possible and to reap the greatest benefits from these nutritious gems! If you didn't know, beets improve eye sight and are immune boosting foods that give your brain a kick start. No, you don't need snakeoil products you see in advertisements (Organifi, I'm talking to you). Natural foods will always work the best.
Please enjoy, and know that I always answer my comments.

Surfing the TH-cam researching beets and how to cook them. I see a thumbnail of a woman looking to be my age in a kitchen.
I’m watching that one. Thank you.
I'M SO GLAD YOU FOUND ME!
Same!! 😊
I’m steaming beets today and serving with goat cheese and walnuts. Thanks Ashley ❤️
Oh my goodness, this sounds delightfully luscious!
Sounds amazing!!
I have tried your recipe to exact. This is wonderful! Since retiring from construction add all that bad fast food I have now been on a health kick and this helps very much thank you very much young lady😊
Beets are MIRACULOUS for your energy, motivation, and drive. Thank you for this.
You are so welcome!
Just pulled 50 lbs of beets out of my garden. Lots of canning to do. And gonna replant for a winter harvest. Beets are the best!
Sounds great! That's a ton of hard work. Beets are SO GOOD!
Baking your beets with sweet potatoes is another good way to keep all that goodness in
This sounds like a phenomenal idea, thank you so much!! 😋
Thanks a million Ashley for this beets video. You just save me time and the hassle.I always peel them first, now I know to steam them and the skins slide clean off from your hands. Nice!!
Happy to help! Thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you for the info about steaming your beets. I've always boiled them to death. Actually, I didn't think steaming the whole beet would work and actually cook it all the way through. Forgot I purchased a pot steamer many, many years ago. Never used it. Just found it--still in the store box--in my attic so I'm going to steam my beets instead from now on because, as you said, I don't want to boil away all that good nutrition. God bless and thanks again!
My pleasure, Anna! I used to boil them too, years ago. Steaming is the best, and it's amazing how it can steam it all the way through! 😊
My teen daughter enjoyed a beet salad at her Italian friend’s Xmas dinner and hasn’t stopped talking about it. Thank you, I think this is it! I am excited to try it!
Hi Katherine! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you've found the beet recipe you've been after... it'll be delicious! 😊
Nice presentation. Those beet leaves are beautiful. Reveals how well her garden grows.
Thank you 😊
Thank you Ashley! Finally I'm no longer intimidated by this little red vegetable. 👍I'm looking forward to preparing it for the 1st time. 🙏😁
Hope you like it! You're going to have a blast!!
Did you piss on him too?😊
This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing. I was looking for a way to best prepare beets to keep nutrient value.
Hope you enjoy the beets, you are so welcome. If you loved it, please share the video with your friends and family. Thanks! 😀
What great colors together, so pretty! I love beets, they are so delish!
Thanks so much! Beets are amazing, aren't they?
Thank you, Ashley, for sharing this video on cooking beets. You mentioned you may have a video on how to prep the beet greens, but I couldn't find any in your channel. If you have a video on how to cook the beet leaves could you please share the link? Thank you!
That looks delicious! Very nice to look at, and it really does look appetizing!
It was! Thank you so much for watching and letting me know how much you loved the video 😊
@@BecomeInspired are beets naturally sweet. I never had them before
@@kevinwilson3337 Yes they are! You'll be very surprised.
I used to eat beets when I was little, but haven't in many many years. I'm gonna buy them raw again and do exactly as you do. I like beets and eat them in salads, etc, but never made from raw. Thanks for the reminder. THUMBS UP!!!
I'm so happy to hear this! I can't wait for you to taste the genuine, bright, and bold flavor of fresh homemade beets! Enjoy 😊
Thank you for the video. I have only baked beets - I will steam next time. Yours look beautiful and beets are so healthy for us!🙏👏👏👏
Martha, thank you so very much! I'm so happy you think so 😊
All vegetables should be steamed instead of boiled. This is a great method
Thanks!
This is the first time that I learned how to steam beets the correct way and not over cook them. Thank you very much.😊💯
Wonderful, Wilbert! You're very welcome.
You must have a wonderful garden! Those are great looking beets!
Aw thanks Rose 🌹!!
Thanks a lot. I will try it out tomorrow. Very good for health!!!
For your health!
I'm very glad you will try this out. Thank you so much for watching my video.
How are you just coming up on my TH-cam recommendations? That dish looks amazing. Tonight I made sautéed golden beets in grapeseed oil. I cut small beets like coins with a lite seasoning. Absolutely DELISH. And I must buy a steamer.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! I'm glad you think so. Your recipe with the golden beets sounds delicious; those beets are hard to find! Welcome to the channel and please enjoy!
@@BecomeInspired
If I sauté am I destroying the nutritional value?
@@wandamajette5000 Wanda, this is a good question. This point is highly debated. I personally don't think you are, and by heating certain things you can actually gain more nutrients. As far as beets goes, my main concern in this video was to not boil the beets in water, allowing the nutrients to drain away and become wasted.
Lovely dish i love beetes
Wonderful, me too! Thank you!!
"Let's put the fryer on" 😊 i love it, reminds me of cooking with my immigrant grandmother
Hah, I love it! Thanks for enjoying 😍
Wonderful info! I just was gifted a bunch of beats from a friends garden and had no idea how to prepare them. Thank you!
Wonderful! You're welcome Alexander!
this is the best way to prep it Bravo ,
Parev Manuel, thank you for watching! I hope this video helps you out 😊
I would be very interested to know how you cook/prepare the beetroot stalks and leaves, which look very tasty.
Thank you so much Ashley, for providing a wonderful process for steaming beets slowly. I'm buying a brush to clean the beets thoroughly. You are a terrific teacher and a beautiful soul!!!! Love your video!!!! All the best...always!!!!
You are so welcome Paul! I'm very happy to hear this. My favorite brush is in the video description as well.
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Rodrigo Luka Instablaster ;)
@Kylo Curtis thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kylo Curtis It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
A very lovely, delicious and heathy plate of food. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks very much.
Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for helping me understand beets and decorate a beet dish side
Most welcome 😊
You helped me a lot! Thanks a lot!
Glad I could help! Do you love beets?
Yummy, thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
You’re welcome!
Wow mamma Mia u j/made my day after my ‘1st Dog Bite’ earlier. I had smaller beets from a garden pantry I took out. I j/washed them 4 Xmas
Ha! Wonderful, thanks so much for sharing!
I’ll watch your channel from now on that dish looks tasty
Thank you! Enjoy!!
Please save the beet tops too. They are wonderful in a salad or lightly steamed with all the nutrition of the root itself!
Wonderful idea! I believe I mentioned that in the video, you're right. They are very versatile. I make "grape leaf" wraps with them.
@@kisham2725 Yes, the beet tops are very important. Thank you Kisha!
Also, Beets are wonderful with just a little vinegar added
They certainly are, good call Marge! 😊
Ooh melted butter... now we're talking! 😍
thank you for showing the great technic
You're so welcome!
Thank you for wonderful video
You're very welcome!
This is my first time Visiting your channel.
I liked your content and and thanks for sharing this with everyone.
I was bit afraid of your sharp knife 🔪🔪🔪😅
I have liked and subscribed your channel.
I know one thing for sure that you are good human being 😇
Salman, welcome to my channel! I’m very happy to have a viewer like you and I’m grateful for your kind words. I hope you enjoy the content that I create and it means a lot to me that you are here!
Leave root on and tops at least 3 inches...if you cut into the beets a lot of nutrients seep out. Once cooked, beets are peeled by hand...perl/skin slides right off
We must be so careful to lock those nutrients in! So good for you.
That looks amazing!
It was! Thanks Robert!
Awesome video! I will be cooking some tomorrow. Thank you!
Please do! I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for watching 😊
Also, really cool & exciting channel! I'll send it to my sons!
Thank you!
You're welcome Kia!
What a great idea
Glad you think so!
that looks really good. I am soaking my beets now. after they are cooked, I can then peel and use for beetnik cake, correct? that is what I got them for but this looks very appealing and I have all those other ingredients here all the time. thank you 😊
Yes, that would work! Glad you like the video!!
@@BecomeInspired the cake was really good!! thanks 🤗
@@skinnyway So happy to hear that!
Are they still as nutritious when pickled?
Great question Steven, yes it's still just as nutritious! I do this too, and I use the leftover vinegar from the beets as a salad dressing 😊
I cannot find your video about the beets leaves--- you said you were going to show what to do with them .... can you please let me know where to find it please
Hi Marcela! Here are the three videos you can use for the beet leaves. These videos show grape leaves, but you can substitute beet leaves:

Great thanks!
You're welcome!
I am allergic to many foods and therefore have to watch what I eat. I have dropped tremendous amounts of weight due to this diet my body makes me be on. I am not a pill popper, so I am looking for natural ways to eat healthy and I am lacking vitamins, especially Iron. My blood pressure is scary-low, when checked I am asked if that is normal, it is. So, I am so glad you posted this video. I am learning to find healthier ways to eat and gain nutrients, vitamins, and some weight. I am just realizing I am allergic to preservatives, and I LOVE beets! But I was raised on fresh and canned, and been living on canned for all of my adult life so far. I am desperate to learn easy ways to eat healthy. Again, thank you for posting this video!!!
So happy to hear you say this! It's very encouraging for me to know you've found value in this method. Like you, I hate pills, so healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle is very important to me. Allergies to gluten and pesticides are all too common, and oftentimes, people live their entire lives not knowing why they are having repeated headaches and other problems. I salute you!!
@@BecomeInspired WOW! Thank you for a prompt response.
Rachel, Google "Moringa" it is all natural from the Moringa Tree and has tons of healthy vitamins, etc .Also a lot of information on U-tube. Buyer beware though, some not so good on the
market. A good source is "Pura Vida" on Amazon. Maybe others. I've had good results with it, even a personal e-mail from the company. You can get capsules or bulk from them. It
smells terrible, perhaps like sea weed, so I use the capsules. It did bring my blood pressure back to normal. Dr. wanted me on meds.
@@chuckredd9131 Thanks Chuck! Here's a Moringa recipe I did not too long ago: th-cam.com/video/hX35Glfd8s4/w-d-xo.html
@@rachelmlesperance9815 It's the least I can do Rachel! I am happy to respond to those who are interested in my videos and to share as much information as possible.
I love beets, thank you for your recipe.
My pleasure 😊
😮 amazing. I am convinced homemaking can be a PhD degree in modern America when you consider the modern food industry and evolving kitchenware. ✨✨✨😮✨✨✨
I agree!!
Perfection!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! Now I know how to prepare beets for my husband! :)
How thoughtful of you! He will love them very much; beets are so healthy!
I baked mine for 1 hour in the oven........no water used. Is that okay? I leave the skin on and put them in my salads. Very delicious!
Hi Sylvia! That is just perfect as well; I hope you enjoy 😊 Check out some of my other videos if you're interested in Armenian cuisine.
Add feta cheese😌 yummmmm
Wonderful idea!! Yum!
I never liked it as a kid. Now, I like it :)
Wow! That's awesome!!
Can detroit white beets be cooked the same way?
They sure can, I love those!
That looks delicious!
Glad you think so!
That is fabulous! I have always peeled beets. I never will again. Thanks. Why not have the camera operator on the other side of the low wall. The angle seems quite awkward and would be so much easier to shoot and to view from the other side.
Hello Virginia, thank you for enjoying my video, and I appreciate the suggestion for the camera operator! I will bring up this suggestion 😊
Thank You 🙏bless.
You are so welcome
Thank you 🙂 what a wonderful way of presenting a natural & home cooked recipe of beets ... I really enjoyed you video and am inspired to do the same !!
Live long and well.
xo Ted
So nice of you, do the same Ted!!
Hey Ashley that's a ok way to Steam beets., But Here in North America We Steam BEETS in a Pressure Cooker for Only 12 to 15 minutes., and it's Completely Done Right.!
😋❤☝🏾🇺🇸 ✅
I've heard that works well too! Thanks!! I do this method in North America too, and it has also worked out for me like I'm sure the pressure version works for you.
Hi Ashley! Was wondering what the powder was that you called red pepper ?is it the same as cayenne pepper?
Yes it is, but it's a blend of cayenne and some other red peppers, crushed and dried.
What a dish 😋
Enjoy it, thank you for stopping by my channel.
You are making me hungry.
Hope you enjoy!!
Did you post a video on how to use the beet leaves?
I have one of these videos coming in the near future! Subscribe for it!!
Thank you, helpful
Anytime, you're very welcome!
Beets are my favorite too eat
Mine too, Bernice! Glad you love them as well.
Love it...will try it🥰
Enjoy! Good luck 😊
Loved the recipe and the MST elegant lady.
Thank you SO MUCH! 😊
What if you don’t have a steamer you can put the beets on? What can you use?
Boiling them gives you a similar outcome!
@@BecomeInspired thank you!
@@anniegreenwind971 You're welcome, Annie!
thanks for video
You're welcome! Enjoy 😊
Can I peeled them with a knife
Of course, if your knife game is on point!
Looks great😋
Thanks Joe, glad you think so 😊
Looks delicious... 😋💯🤤
It was! Thank you 😍
Loos very good. Thanks
Of course!
How about roasting? Does that method preserve vitamins?
It's fine too!
Very nice info, I used to boil the beets. Anyway how many beets can one consume daily ?
For liability’s sake, I can’t make dietary recommendations. This is extremely healthful in my opinion. Always make sure to eat the appropriate amount of vitamins and nutrients your body needs each day, and as always, consult a dietary coach regarding your health
I’ve made beets detoxing water!
Sounds super healthy, way to go!
Rod A ... how do you make it?
👍thanks somuch
Kuntali, you're very welcome! Please share this video with your family and friends if you loved it 😀
What if you don't have the lil steamer plate? Whatever you call it.
Lil steamer plate, I love it. This is my favorite thing I've heard! 🤣🤣
You can use any dish with holes, or anything else you can put upside down. As long as it's got holes in it so it can steam the beets.
Now, I'm hungry😎
That's what I love to hear, Daniel!
Thank you...O love beets!!
You're welcome Karen, I am so happy you love them! They're so very good for you, and delicious.
great video!
Thanks!
Beets are very good for the body❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes they are!
Avoid the plastic cutting boards and plastics as microplasric not healthy. Look into issues from microplastic and PFOA in water from sink or bottle water and also dangers of Teflon or other non stick pans. Thank you so much though for this beautiful video
YES, THESE ARE WORDS OF WISDOM! Microplastics are awful, but this isn't plastic. It's an organic material. Teflon is horrible... I need to do better on that front.
@@BecomeInspired ah great that you know. Sharing information I learned a little late in my self, live by the phrase put yourself in other peoples shoes. I imagined if I was you in that video making that great video to the world and not knowing if plastic was safe to cut hot things on or not, I would be eating poison so I was hoping to share that knowledge with you :) as I didn’t know myself too for many years until I learned to use organic material like you are, we use wood we cut at Home Depot :) much cheaper
@@samnadim9913 That sounds like a great idea! I am sure the wood is untreated with chemicals. I'm glad you shared!
Doesn’t heat kill the enzymes in the beets?
No.
can you not peel them before you steam them?
It's very hard to peel before you steam, but if you'd like to, you sure could.
