In our opinion, pickled beets are one of the most underrated items in the entire pickled veggie category. A beet's natural flavor makes it an ideal candidate for pickling because the acid amplifies the sweetness, cuts through the earthiness, and creates a harmonious balance that’s nearly impossible to achieve with any other vegetable. That unique taste makes pickled beets versatile across salads, charcuterie boards, grain bowls, and more.
They also bring striking visual appeal. That vibrant, purple-red color holds up beautifully after pickling and makes every plate they appear on look more intentional. Overall, a sliced pickled beet on a salad provides an exceptional pop of color, flavor, and acidity in one move.
Ginger-Pickled Beets And Beyond: Our Full Lineup
Here’s a detailed overview of every pickled beet we carry, along with what sets each one apart. Consider this your guide to finding a permanent fridge resident you didn’t know you were missing.
The House Pick
The Fresh Ginger Beets from our own Jarred Collection are a happy surprise for anyone trying pickled beets for the first time. Equal parts striking and bright, earthy beets meet fresh ginger for a zing that hits just right. Plus, the ginger adds an aromatic quality that makes every bite feel alive. These are the best pickled beets for anyone who wants clean, assertive flavor without leaning too sweet or funky.
A Complex Collab For Sophisticated Flavor
Pinot Noir Beets by Crisp & Co. are what happens when brine meets wine, and both are better for it. Built on a complex foundation of Pinot Noir alongside fresh ginger, cloves, orange peel, bay leaf, and black pepper, the flavor is layered and divine without being precious about it. These are the pickled beets to reach for when you want to impress someone at the table, or just treat yourself to something a little bit of luxury on an ordinary Tuesday.
Sweet Pickled Beets Worth Knowing
Honey Cinnamon Beets by Pickled Pink are sweet pickled beets done right. You simply can't beet this flavor. Cinnamon and honey team up for a satisfying, warmly spiced bite that still has real pickled character underneath. It’s one of the most accessible options in the lineup for anyone who finds plain pickled beets too sharp, and a delightful fit for holiday boards or anywhere you want a sweet beet alongside savory items.
Beets That Bring On The Heat
"Unbeetables" Beets by Pacific Pickle Works bring the fire with unbeetable spice that lives up to the name. The heat builds without overwhelming the inherent beet flavor underneath, which is exactly how a spicy pickled beet should work. It’s the ideal pick for anyone who wants their pickled veggies to be briny and bold in equal measure.
Buy Pickled Beets Online And Build Your Collection
The easiest way to find your fave is to order a few styles together. Our Build a Pickle Box lets you mix and match, so you can pair our Fresh Ginger Beets alongside dilly pickles or garlic-stuffed olives for a well-rounded selection that you’ll never get bored with. Please keep in mind that this option is only available for our vinegar-based, jarred pickle line.
Buying And Using Pickled Beets: Ideas Worth Trying
Once you have a few packages of tasty pickled beets in the fridge, here are some of the best ways to put them to work. Our freshest pick is the Spring Strawberry and Pickled Peach Salad, where the bright, acidic flavor of pickled produce takes center stage. Adding a few sliced Fresh Ginger Beets or Honey Cinnamon Beets alongside the other elements would elevate it further, and the color contrast alone makes it worth trying.
For a grazing board situation, the Olive Charcuterie Board is exactly the kind of spread where pickled beets earn their spot. The Pinot Noir Beets, in particular, bring a visual appeal and a one-of-a-kind flavor dimension that makes a sharing plate feel extra curated.
And if you’re a no-fuss type of person, our Pickled Toast 3 Ways recipe is worth bookmarking for a fast, versatile meal format where pickled beet slices add acidity and color to an already great canvas. Finally, adding beets to our Pickled Deviled Eggs makes for a classic, eye-catching pairing where the striking red brine gives a stunning contrast to the egg whites.
