About

A family recipe, one small pot at a time

BeetRoot By Ann is a handmade South African food brand built on patience, real ingredients and generous flavour.

Ann cooking beetroot chutney in a copper pot

It started with a glut of beetroot from the garden and a family recipe scribbled on the back of an envelope. Friends asked for jars. Then friends of friends. Then a market stall.

Today BeetRoot By Ann still cooks in batches small enough to taste and adjust by hand. The beetroot is peeled and grated fresh, the spices are toasted, and the pot is stirred until the chutney turns deep, glossy and rich.

Alongside the chutneys, Ann's family handcrafts solid Kiaat charcuterie boards — a natural partner to a good jar and good company.
