Give a good squeeze: even more than firm, look for beets that are hard to the touch.
You’re also looking for a nice smooth skin across the surface of the beet.
Finally, look for a beet that feels a bit heavy for a it’s size when tossed in the hand.
A sure sign of a fresh specimen, is a beet with the long tail at the bottom (AKA: the taproot) still attached.
Avoid any beets with with marks or cuts on their surface.
