Beta Vulgaris is generally known as beetroot. It is a wonderful dietary supplement because it is not only rich in nutrients, minerals, and vitamins but it also has unique phytoconstituents, which have various therapeutic importance such as ant-oxidant, anti-depressant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and expectorant. But beetroots are not liberally available in every season. So there is a requirement to preserve this vegetable. The objective of the present study was to develop some value-added storable (beetroot biscuits, beetroot pickle, and beetroot jam) products from beetroot and to assess their shelf life. All the storable products were kept at room temperature (29-30 0C) for 3 months and analyzed for their shelf life at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days with sensory characteristics by using the Nine-point hedonic scale and microbiological analysis by using Pour Plate Technique. The result showed that beetroot biscuit and beetroot pickle can consume up to 75 days of storage but beetroot jam can be consumed up to 60 days of storage. However, the microbial load of all the storable products was within the acceptance range for 3 months of storage so they can store up to 3 months and also safe for consumption
