What is it with beetroot?

[Cedric Farthsbottom III]

Jars are so easy to open,jam,pickled onions(oh yes!!!),curry sauces.Why,oh why,do jars of beetroot need the same force of an atomic bomb to open naturally.Yet when ye tap the jar on a work top it opens so easily.Why?Why the beetroot?:confused::confused::p

The question is why on earth you would want to eat beetroot?
And as for the jars, use an elastic band for grip

I think Mr. Cedric here has way to much time on his hands, which he should spend growing his own beetroot and jarring it.


Tough question though im sure its on the minds of many [disgust]

If i remember rightly, pickled beetroot will turn blue eventually when left to the open air due to oxidation. In a jar, the amount of oxygen in the air bubble will react with the red dye in the beet root thus causing the lid to pull down harder than if no oxidation had took place with other pickles making the lid harder to turn.

sorry but in my experience, old pickled beetroot always turns an unappetising brown :P bleuch!

Ah yes I think it is red cabbage when I come to think about it that turns blue, anyway the principle could be the same with oxidation, colour change to brown indicates that this could make the lid harder to pull off.
