Frequently Asked Questions

Are Gordon Choice Pickled Beets cooked or raw?
These beets are fully cooked and tender before being pickled in brine. This process ensures they have a consistent "bite" that is soft but not mushy. Because they are ready-to-eat right out of the tin, they are a massive time-saver for commercial kitchens that would otherwise have to spend hours boiling and peeling raw beets. Simply drain the required amount and they are ready for service.

How many servings are in one 2.84L tin?
A 2.84L (100oz) tin typically provides approximately 25 to 30 servings of 1/2 cup each. This makes it an incredibly cost-effective option for high-traffic salad bars or catering events. For garnishing purposes, where only 2-3 slices are used per plate, a single tin can stretch to over 100 servings, significantly lowering your food cost percentage.

Can I use the beet juice in the tin for other recipes?
Absolutely! The "liquid gold" inside the tin is a flavorful, naturally dyed sweet and tangy vinegar. It is most commonly used in Canadian kitchens to make pickled eggs—simply drop hard-boiled eggs into the juice and refrigerate. It can also be used as a vibrant base for vinaigrettes, or reduced down to a glaze for roasted carrots and other root vegetables.

How should I store the beets once the tin is opened?
Once opened, you should never store the beets in the original tin, as the exposed metal can affect the flavor. Transfer the beets and their brine into a clean, food-grade plastic or glass container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep them completely submerged in the brine and refrigerate. When stored correctly, they will maintain their peak quality for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

Are there any artificial preservatives in these beets?
Gordon Choice Pickled Beets rely on the natural preservative qualities of vinegar, salt, and sugar. This traditional pickling method ensures the product remains shelf-stable while unopened without the need for heavy chemical additives. The deep red color is naturally occurring from the beets themselves, making them a "cleaner" choice for kitchens looking to avoid synthetic dyes like Red 40.

Is this 2.84L tin easy to store in a commercial pantry?
Yes, the 2.84L (often called a #10 can in the industry) is specifically designed to stack efficiently on standard commercial shelving. This allows you to keep a large inventory on hand without taking up excessive floor space. Its shelf-stability means you can order by the case from ChickenPieces.com and only pull them into the kitchen as needed, ensuring your fridge space is reserved for more perishable items.
