Kathy, I used to LOVE them... and prolly still do... but now a days I roast fresh beets. Love them.

Dan in Cleveland "roasts" veggies on the George Foreman grill. I'll have to try that next. ;)

My DH makes Beet Soup. So good.

OklaMoni, we love roasted beets too!

I haven't had pickled beets since I was a kid. My mom always made them.

Not a beet eater, but friend puts her sliced beets in leftover pickle juice.

Yum, pickled beets. Sweet Tomatoes has them on their salad bar...

I buy pickled beets at a local Amish store. Yummy.

While there, I look suspiciously at the pickled eggs. I’ve never bought any of those.

Pickled quail eggs are really good.

When I can get them, I love baby beets steamed with the tops still on. Drain, butter, salt and pepper - my favorite greens! Sometimes, I grow a pot full just so I can have them now and then. I like them best no larger than a cherry.

Pickled beets are great too, I like them on salads.

Dawn, have you ever added a little balsamic to the steamed greens?

Andie, I have not. I should try that next time for a bit of brightness.

I love pickled beets and pickled eggs. My mother would add a couple of cans of pickled beets to the brine when she made her pickled eggs. I make them the basically the same way when the mood strikes.

Beet greens are a huge favorite of mine and have been since I was little. Beet root doesn't do so well in my hard red clay soil but I do grow two or three varieties just for their greens, including one with red leaves.

rhizo, the beet water that's left over after steaming or boiling is a great addition to beef soups. It adds a subtle flavor and gives it a beautiful color (a deep rich brown). The beet water is also good in smoothies. I don't know what the nutritional value of beet water is, but I would think there are some nutrients there.

I buy the beets with the leaves on. Three meal for me. :) Greens and tators and eggs over easy, beet stems steamed with butter on them, and finally roasted beets.

YUM

I love beets lots of ways and pickled is sure one of them.

I love pickled beets! I also love a salad with beets and goat cheese.

My mother used to take a can of sliced beets and put them in a jar of pickle juice when the pickles were all gone. They were delicious and my father loved them.
