i just started eating beets, i think beets are the best vegetable.
I know they are goog for your health, but I don't like their earthy taste that much.
i sort of like the earthy taste :)
Of course, other than food, bests are use to as food coloring and as a medicinal plant.  I've notice how they "dye" white dished that persist even after several wash.
were beets also a source of sugar? hence their name sugarbeets
Both sugar beets and beetroot and chard, all belong to the subspecies "Beta Vulgaris"
are they also related to carrots? or that is a way different kind of root vegetable.
The domestic carrot has been bred to be more palatable and less woody-textured
