The harvest time pie is made of rye and beetroot. Blue cheese gives extra flavor.
Vinegar beetroot also gives you a delicious pie. Pasi Liesimaa
This pie plays a major part of beetroot. Its friends are Aura cheese and rye base.
-Beetroot is a fine raw material. It has an original and strong taste. It goes to many foods, boasts the chef Risto Mikkola.
He states that vinegar beetroot is a traditional delicacy and a way to store these dark root vegetables, beetroot steaks fit into the fall, and according to Mikkola, the warming borsch soup is great food.
Cheeses are also beetroot friends, at the top of the goat cheese. Beetroot also acts as a raw material for hummus or in pots and oven dishes- not to mention the ready-made beetroot salad or Christmas rosal.
At its simplest, Mikkola exfoliates and sees raw beets, puts them on a baking sheet and seasoned with salt, thyme and olive oil.
However, one thing should be remembered when food is made of beetroot. It should not be eaten raw because some people get stomach problems from an uneducated beetroot.
Beetroot collects nitrates from the soil, so it is not recommended for children under one year of age. Nitrate can turn into nitrite in the body, and this reduces the ability of hemoglobin to transport oxygen to the cells. Nitrate concentrations are reduced when the beets are cooked and peeled.
This time, Mikkola makes a beetroot pie with a pair of blue cheese and Aura cheese. Mikkola praises Aura as a fine domestic product.
– It’s made for Finnish taste, Mikkola recalls and states in the same breath that those who do not love aura hate it.

Vitamins in beetroot are comfortable: beta-carotene, vitamin C and E, and B vitamins, especially folate.
Folate intake is easily low in Finns’ diets. The strong color of beetroot, in turn, is about bioactive substances.
