Nope. Kind of  a rough texture, greyish-brown in color.Dark red
inside.

I'm even less fond of beets than I am of turnips. I went back to the
store later and got turnips. Different store - better labels.

The turnips went into the compost/compote which went over fairly
well at my Crown Luncheon. I still have about half a crock full
though. I did take it to a recent family dinner where some folks
liked it. Since it is a pickled food item, it should still be good
for a while.
