What's the deal with beets? Beets used to be those yucky canned things that our parents tried to force us to eat about twice a year. No more! Over the years, I have learned to love the "cellar vegetables" and beets are a staple. Who knew that beets would grow well in the tropical Houston summers?
Beets are full of nutrients, fiber and flavor. They can be steamed, boiled, baked and served raw. They are delicious on salads, in soups, with potatoes or can stand alone. And don't forget the yummy beet tops. They are a healthy green that can be prepared and used similar to spinach.
Here's my recent tiny harvest of beets.
