That is interesting because when I boil beets it is one of the only two veggies I don't add salt to so maybe if there was no salt they would have been different. When I make Borscht and want to add a bit of a tang to it, I use the flavored vinegar from my pickles are sitting in, and it a lovely color, in fact I finely chop a small amount of the pickled beet too, it breaks down when cooking so you don't see the bits of pickled beets among the rest but it gives a nice flavor if you don't add too much
Have you even made a sweet pie with beets, cinnamon sugar etc, it is very good. You can mix the beets with berries too, great with a dollop of whipped cream on top or more traditional to serve custard
