Aussies partial to a slice of beetroot on their burger or in their salad sanga may have to start forking out big dollars to get their hands on a tin of the much-loved veggie.
Canned beetroot has been in short supply since Cyclone Gabrielle took out the New Zealand-based Golden Circle cannery last year.
Shoppers have taken to social media after noticing empty shelves at their local supermarkets, and it’s prompted savvy resellers to try and make a quick buck on eBay.
Tins of beetroot are popping up for inflated prices on the selling platform, with some demanding up to $60 plus for a single tin. A tin of beetroot at Woolies or Coles usually sells for somewhere around $3.
Representatives from Australia’s major supermarket chains have encouraged shoppers to purchased fresh beetroot, which is still readily available. And it’s really easy to make your own, hamburger-ready beetroot! Check out our Pickled Beetroot recipe!
