Tamara Ash @tamaraash89 (268) • Saint Lucia 1 Feb 18

My friend makes a smoothie with beets and I can’t seem to stomach the soily earth taste. Is it just me or do you guys actually like the taste of beets? Are there any fruits or vegetables that you guys don’t like?

Never being a fan of beets and always insisting they taste like dirt to me, we decided to juice some with carrots and other veggies to calm the taste. Now a grower from the Kings Mountain area here has beets that are actually...

Raw Red Beets; Cooked? Baked?

Deborah L. Alten @gtargirl (5376) • United States 12 May 10

First of all, may I say, use gloves when handling these gems (red beets). Anyway, I would love suggestions for cooking these, or not cooking them. I've tried baking them and I loved it. Added just a little bit of olive oil and...
