I can't seem to find an entry in the dB that I think is accurate for roasted beets. I'd think that they'd lose significant moisture when roasted so was wondering if anyone had a reliable entry? If not next time I'll measure raw and roast them and then re-measure to figure it out.

Thanks

    I don't find them to lose moisture when I roast them...I use whatever the database says by weight. And you remind me, I have a couple of beets to cook.

    I made a raw beet salad for the first time last week, it was delicious!

    Do you roast them whole? I peel and cut the beets into small squares when roasting so it could be losing a chunk of moisture.

    I know with cauliflower when I roast that it loses quite a bit of moisture and it significantly ups the nutrition per gram of it.
