When using Beets...
• Many people enjoy eating the greens attached to the end, but it's personal preference. The leafy greens attached are high in iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and calcium.
• Be gentle when washing beets. You want the thin skin to remain intact for cooking.
• Although beets can be eaten raw, they are generally boiled, baked, steamed, fried, grilled or otherwise cooked before eating.
• Choose beets of uniform size to promote even cooking.
• Smaller, younger beets do not have to be peeled
• To retain nutrients and color, boil, bake or steam without peeling first. The skin will easily rub off under cold running water after they are cooked.
