Red Beets, Organic SPECIAL

Beets are the fibrous taproot of the beet plant. The skin is thin, and earthy flavoured, while the flesh is sweet and dense.

Can be eaten raw as a crunchy addition in a salad. Roasted, steamed, sauteed and pickled are also popular ways to enjoy! During the harvesting months, the greens are wonderful steamed or sauteed, or even added to a soup or stew.

Beets were first domesticated in the ancient Middle East for their greens. It was soon discovered that the deep reddish purple beetroot was a delicious vegetable that became popular across Europe before being cultivated in North America by the 18th century.
