Inspired by Sunshine’s Macro Monday #23
~~~
Root vegetables galore covered the tables at a local indoor farmers’ market a few months ago.
I don’t usually buy fresh beets at the grocery store.
However, this time I thought…why not?
Look at all those colors!

Odd looking, is it supposed to look like this? 🤔

That’s what it/they looked like! They were also smaller than commercially available beets.

They remind me of radishes, so yummy. 🥰

I love beets. We wrap them in foil and bake them – less mess and so good.

Now that’s a really good idea! Thank you! My roasting method did not do them justice.

I can’t tell if it’s a beet or the strangest, most exotic beetle I’ve ever seen!

Well that’s an interpretation I hadn’t thought of! It wasn’t a typical looking beet (from my experience), but it inspired a photograph. 🙂

I love beets! Steamed with butter and salt. Is that still healthy? My doctor told me that beet juice daily is a way to naturally lower blood pressure. So I drink a glass every day. I like the organic kind, no sweeteners. What did you do with your beets?

I cut them up and roasted them, but next time I will do it differently. They dried up too much. A little butter and salt sounds good 🙂

I don’t know if I’d like them roasted as much. Moist, buttery, salty beets – or pickled are my favorite!

I’m a beet fan too 🙂 Usually just get the cans of pickled ones, but your other readers have me thinking I could buy fresh and cook them satisfactorily. Thanks!

Good idea! Fresh cooked are really delicious. All together different than canned.
