[quote=blueheavensfla] I can't believe that more of you don't eat the beet greens. They are so yummy. At the price we have to pay in the grocery for them, I NEVER buy beets unless the greens are fairly young, tender and fresh. I get double value for my extravagance that way. I like the greens even better than swiss chard or spinach which are my 3 top favorite cooked veggies. [/qipte]
My two favorite things: beet greens sauteed and roasted beets.
They taste so sweet. I bake them as above described and even DH loves them, too. Yumm Yumm!
