The easiest way to peel beets<\/a> is to first slice off the beet greens, leaving a small stem for a better grip. Then, carefully use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. To keep your hands from staining purple, it’s a good idea to wear rubber gloves. Additionally, to protect your favorite wooden cutting board from staining, you can line it with parchment paper or use a plastic cutting board, which is easier to clean. If you do end up with stains on your hands or cutting board, try removing them with a mixture of lemon juice and salt.<\/p>"
