how were they prepared?

>>11357384
Raw

>>11357396
Don't think I've ever had them raw

Every once in a while, I like pickled beets with a meal. They stain your clothes like crazy though, so lean over your plate when you bite into 'em.

>>11357430
Good to know but I don't usually wear clothes while eating

>>11357251
nature's candy
pickle them with eggs

>>11357251
Beet it.

>>11357251
>delicious
You think dirt tastes delicious?

Are beets an exotic food item where you live?

Love raw beetroot.

Julienne apple, beetroot and carrot with some onion. Toss them in a mustard and vinegar dressing. Serve over some spinach and lettuce.

POWER SALAD

Beets are the only food that make me feel sick. I can hardly breathe when they're steaming nearby. I don't see how people like that toxic shit

>>11357835
Odd. Sounds like a weird allergy.

I have problems with eggplants and bell peppers, but only ingested in a decent amount. I can eat pretty much any food on the planet. I knew an executive chef that grew an intolerance to wheat, non-celiac, after consuming way too damned much of it. Breathing it in was fine, he could tolerate a small amount, but a sandwich would send him to the hospital.

>>11357708
if it tastes anything like beets, yeah

>>11357251
I became allergic to tomatoes and tried pickled beet on my burger instead. Those Australians are onto something.

Borscht is good too.

>>11357251

I don't cook with them, but I make a good juice with them.

2x Beets
2x Granny Smith Apples
4x Stalks Celery
1x Bunch of Parsley

Take a slice of beet and roast it in good butter to a golden brown in the pan, a little goat cheese on top and maybe some crumbled walnut. Delicious.

>>11357251
Beets are one of the most based veggies.

Any of you cu/ck/s ever try making beet Kvass? It's like drinking the earth itself

>>11357251
Literally taste like sugar dirt.

>>11357251
But why would you be afraid?

how to make beets swiss way

>boil until tender but still very gently resistant
>slice thin
>mix with garlic (LOTS) vinegar (LOTS) olive oil and onions
Eat. I make this once a week (at least 500g). My poop is very often blood red.

>>11358704
What part of America? I live in Massachusetts and I've never seen a grocery store produce section without beets. I grow them regularly in my backyard, too.

>>11357835
>my obscure allergy is an indication of toxicity
Your genes are toxic, don't procreate.

>>11358352
>>11357623
Are they closely related to sugar beets by any chance?

>>11358313
Been planning to. It's too easy not to give it a shot. Keep forgetting to put beets on the list though.

Found out both beets are both subtypes of Beta Vulgaris.

They're edible, you can grate them into salad.
I prefer roasted baby beets.

>Are they closely related to sugar beets by any chance?
I want you to think about this for a while and answer it for yourself

>>11359704
Yes, which is why they taste like sugar dirt.

>look at anon 5 hours later trying to seem smart
kek, what an idiot

I get them pre cooked and vacuum sealed, I slice them thin and season them with some olive oil and salt & pepper

>>11357518
Same

>>11358704
What? There are like, 3 different types at almost any grocery store I go to in the midwest

>>11358704
>my food desert in Nowheresville, Iowa is representative of the whole US
Dumbass.

>>11358822
My grandmother used to buy pickled beets from the grocery store deli. Simply amazing. Haven't had them in years.

>>11357251
Careful. Eat too much and you'll start pissing blood.

>>11360947
Dude even iowa has beet farms all over

Ffs, are you really white knighting for that absolute shithole? Half of their state budget is dependent on CA and NY federal tax dollars, yet they claim coasts are socialist, LMAO!
>mfw when flyover shitholes who only survive from coastal charity in the form of fed tax dollars wail about atheist socialistic gombunism

>>11357623
YES. Do this immediately.

>>11358859
charred

I tried cooking the greens once and my house stank like beet greens for weeks. Also, they gave me a urinary tract infection.

>>11361567
Blue state coastie here. America's old guard powerhouses are doing everything in their power to make sure businesses and young, hard-working people leave their decaying shit holes as quickly as possible. In the next 50 years, a lot of lower population cities in the mid west are going to see massive booms while NY and LA rot into gib infested minority slums.

>>11357251
Beets are for borsh.

Elevate yourself further anon.

>>11362503
Borscht was one of the most fun things I've cooked so far, but I really misunderstood the proportions and accidentally made like 2 gallons of it and had to throw away a lot. Also it stained half of the surfaces in my kitchen.

>>11362503
Only tried that recently despite a long life of pickled beets.
It's good and I recommend it.
Don't be fooled by some of the recipes out there, by the way; you absolutely want some sour in there. Beets are very earthy and sweet, and you want some acid to counter it.

Same here OP. Well last week at least. I got a few packages of these for $1 each and they were well worth it. Wouldn't pay the original like $4 a package price though.
Very strange tasting but I enjoyed them. Never had anything like it. I do find it funny that they're trying to make beets hip. I hope they attain avocado status.
