    Beets are yummy. Just beware if you eat lots of them, the end result is going to look pretty alarming in the bathroom. ;)

    This I already know. I'm worried about my self control with pickled beets. Even chocolate doesn't tempt me so bad!

    Love them. Some are a bit high in salt/sodium. Not all.

    I LOVE beets, but I didn't realize you could get pickled beets! Can you just buy them at the supermarket?

    I found mine at sobeys. They don't have a huge variety to choose from 2-3 but pickled beats are pickled beats....

    I only discovered last year how tasty beets are. I love roasted beets. I remember hating pickled beets as a kid. They were mushy and gross, and leaked pink slime all over everything. Blech. Maybe it was the kind we bought? I don't remember a brand, but I do remember them coming in a big white plastic tub (always stained pink on the inside). I may give the pickled version another try at some point, as their roasted kin are delicious!

    I hear ya! Pickled beets has a been a favorite treat of mine since I was a child.

    I recently discovered how delicious beets are raw. Unlike many other vegetables they are sweeter when raw than when cooked. I love to snack on them or put them in salads and slaws.

    Geez, that sounds like your pickled beets had gone bad. :sick: They should not be slimy or mushy or pink. They should be crisp and in a thin watery dark red brine.

    I thinly slice and fry in coconut oil or roast with salt or bake as a potato bake alternative, or beetroot and sweet pot burgers are the bomb! !

    I LOVE pickled beets but try to get the ones done without so much sugar as beets are relatively high in calories to begin with (for as much of them as I am likely to eat LOL!!)

    At my grocery we have pickled beets in jars and there are also canned pickled beets and I just pick the lowest calorie per gram ones as there can be a big difference between them.

    i like cooking them roasted best, followed closely by water oven (185 @ 2 hours.) I think more nutrients are retained in the latter.

    Never was a fan. Growing up all I had access to were pickled canned beets. I avoided them. Then, I went to dinner at my wife's grandmothers house. She served fresh, roasted beets. Right out of her garden. One of the best things I have ever eaten. Now they are a must have.
