*I use rubber gloves whenever I do anything with beets. Also I have a glass cutting board and ceramic knives which I LOVE. If you can get one they are truly amazing. They are great for us veg heads as they do not stain or turn cut veggies brown. Just be careful they are very sharp, when I first got mine I almost cut the tip of my thumb off : /
