I'm not a fan of beets no matter if they are table, garden, red or golden beets. 
Ew no, I don't like them either. To me they are nastily bitter.
Some of them are actually sweet like the sugar beet with is grown for sugar production.
I must not have ever had one of those then, because all the beets I've had were gross (lol). 
They are actually grown all over the world including in the US as well as Russia, France, and Germany.
Wow, they're hardy little plants then. Did you know you can dye fabric and yarn with their juice?
Know I didn't know that. I hope I'm not wearing cloths dyed with beets!
Haha! Probably not, but it's quite safe and lasts pretty well.
Do you know how long it usually lasts?
It depends on what the material is made of, but for cotton it lasts a few years easily.
