About Beets
Beets are a hardy crop in the garden. They are usually one of the first to go in in colder weather, and also are great for growing through the fall. My parents used to plant some at the beginning of the season and not harvest until fall when they were thick and meaty. Since then, I’ve discovered the pleasure of fresh golf ball sized beets to be more to my liking. Although some preparation is involved, beets are worth your time and effort.

Keep in mind, if you’re cooking beets, you want to keep the timing to 15 minutes or less and roasting times under 1 hour. More than this, damages the food pigments in beets and causes you to lose out on the richness and minerals. For best results – consider roasting them for 30 minutes then juicing.
