I just got fresh ones from the our farmer's market.
I washed, peeled, and sliced them. I've eaten fresh beets before, but this was my first time prepping them myself. I also threw a few slices in with some veggies I was steaming at the time. Any body else eat them fresh, or am I a big honkin' weirdo?
I actually just tried them and did not like it. I wonder why the fresh ones I eat at my school's cafeteria are better? (I'm a teacher in a primary school) What a waste of 80 cents, lol!
Did you cook them first? I've never heard of eating them raw. I scrub them then roast them in the oven. Then I slip off the skin before serving or adding to a dish. I also love pickled beets
I'll try roasting them tomorrow. I'm a little yucked out right now, ha ha!
The raw ones at my school are great. I'm not sure how I messed up making raw beets, but I'm sure it takes talent to screw them up!
yup. raw beet sticks and jicam sticks too. We're a pretty healthy school district. You can even request a packet that has all the food served and its nutritional info. Very handy when calculating points
beets?
