About Beets

Beets are one of nature's original candies. They contain natural sugars that are brought out during the cooking process, such as a long roasting in the oven. In fact, one of the most common sugars around the world is actually produced directly from beets.

Beets can be enjoyed not only roasted in the oven, but also baked, stewed, or in raw form. When bought as whole bunches, they contain large green leafy tops that can be cooked as well – these greens are full of healthy phytochemicals and will bulk up any meal.

Red beets are probably the kind you will see most at the grocery store, but there are also orange beets, yellow beets, and even pink-and-white striped beets, called Chioggia beets! Experiment with different types of beets in these recipes; you will notice that each imparts their own subtle flavor and texture.
