Beets with their leaves are good to store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. While leaf less beet can be stored in a refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Freezing the vegetable can be done if you are planning to cook/making juice.

Notes before making this recipe:
- Beets has natural sweetener, so adjust the quantity of sugar according to it.
