After years of trying out recipes & visiting the finest dining establishments, I finally ate beets…and liked them.

Before beets became a trendy “super food,” I can remember my mom espousing the nutritional value of this root vegetable. But this was one food I just couldn’t stomach. I mean really, who wants to eat something that tastes like dirt? So I resigned myself to never eating beets. Once I began eating high nutrient foods, the beet challenge reared its head again. This veggie really is worth the effort to get right, with its excellent source of folate, manganese, potassium, copper, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin C, iron & vitamin B6. Like I said, “super food.”
