Miriam Hahn's pickled beets recipe features the standard ingredients you'd expect: pepper, salt, garlic, olive oil (with the option of added parsley), and, of course the beets. But she adds another specialty ingredient to the mix: ume plum vinegar, which tends to have a more potent flavor than standard white vinegar.
"Ume plum vinegar has a salty, fruity, yet tart flavor. It is a really potent vinegar that goes a long way," says Hahn. It also soaks into the beets quickly, making it a time-efficient ingredient option, as it doesn't need to ferment.
And in addition to improving the dish's flavor profile, ume plum vinegar has nutritional benefits, too. Hahn, who is a wellness coach, also says the vinegar "helps with digestion, fatigue, and aids the body in releasing toxins." A side dish that's tasty and good for you? Yes, please.
