    Love them. Eat them at least once a week. Used to eat even more when I had a huge veggie garden and canned.

    My aunt married a man born in Russian. They use beets like we use potatoes in their stews- what they call borscht. People who aren't Russian think borscht is only the pureed beet soup that the French make.

    Roasted with other root veg is yummy but hardly ever buy them to be honest!

    Hate them. Hate the color, flavor, looks, smell, and how they leave a permanent stain just by looking at them.

    Not quite in the age range, but other than in borscth, I can't stand them. I've tried many many times, just can't do it.

    I love beets! I use to take the can ones and just slice them into a salad or eat them plain like that. I have gotten into purchasing the real deal and backing them. Delicious. I haven't had them recently due to not being in control of my cooking, but now that I have my own place, i hope to incorporate them back in my life... I would eat them as often as I feel I can still enjoy them.. Maybe once a week?

    Absolutely LOVE beets. Fresh preferred by far, packaged fresh cooked is good, canned is fairly icky. Like them raw (shredded in lettuce salads or with shredded carrot and jicama) or juiced (mix with apple/carrot/celery/lemon) or cooked - baked (omg good) or boiled. I add sliced cold boiled beets to green salad.

    To me, they taste like dirt.

    No like.

    They have this weird earthy taste that I can't get past. But I keep trying. :)

    I love beets. I eat them twice a month. I wish they didn't stain... but they are still worth it.

    love them! at first, i had a hard time with the "earthy" taste but now that is exactly what i love about them. plus they have a certain sweetness too. i love them steamed and then pan grilled with just a tiny bit of olive oil. i also eat them cold with goat cheese and chives. yummy! i know people that make cakes out of pureed beets...haven't gone there yet but it sounds interesting!

    now, on the flip side, they stain horribly. and my bathroom trips the day after a "beet" fest are interesting too. EVERYTHING comes out RED! it's like a murder happened in my toilet! lol!!

    The smell of beets makes me want to vomit. The color is pretty but stains easily. I don't like them at all.

    I know they are good for me, but yuck yuck yuck. Hubby loves them, so he loads up if we are at a salad bar.

    Hated them until about 2 years ago when my mom introduced me to lightly roasted ones in a salad at Cheesecake factory. Delicious! I'm hooked. Yellow ones don't stain and are even sweeter.
