I would never give away my beets. They are incredible. If I wanted to buy them, I wouldn’t know where to go.

I ate them tonight much as I have previously. Steamed with dirty skin intact.  After steaming, the skin melts off under running cold water.

 

Steaming the beets. Notice the dirty skins still intact.

 Eat the beets plain without any other flavoring.

Tonight, I sliced the beets and placed them on a bed of thingly sliced fennel (from the current week’s subscription). Then, I drizzled it all with olive oil and sprinkled with feta cheese. Delicious!

 

Notice the beautiful pattern of concentric circles of the golden beets. This pattern is more difficult to see with the more conventional purple beets.

What’s left?
