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

    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.

    Yes grated raw beets are so yummy!!!

    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.

    Apparently, beets, as well as beet greens, are super-duper good for you. I think roasted beets are tasty as hell. My wife makes a salad (which we are eating tonight) consisiting of raw kale and/or spring mix, dried blueberries (fresh are good, too), roasted beets, goat cheese and avocado (throw whatever else you want on there). That made with my amazing, garlic-y balsamic vinaigrette... I beg for this. So stinking good.
