Hi! I am a newbie, both to this board and to cooking (well.. sort of. I've been stumbling my way through college for 4 years with a spatula but now I am graduated and trying to learn for serious!)....

I have 8 lbs. of blended beets left over from juicing. I am baking at 300 degrees to dry.. then grind up to make flour!

I love beets but not the peeling part! I tried the typical ways several times but decided it was easier to give up eating fresh beets. Recently, I was given several pounds of fresh beets. So I s...

I boiled, peeled, refrigerated... and then promptly forgot a bunch of small beets about a week ago. Should they still be good, first in terms of food safety (they've been in a closed Ziploc bag at...

ok, I've peeled, and roasted and I always end up staining my hands, dish cloths etc., and usually end up with a big mess, and hardly any more beets. Does anyone have a better method?

Hey Chowies!! I got some bottles beet juice at Trader Joes. It says "flash pasteurized". It also says "use within 3 days of opening". I was surprised and confused- really?? If a juice is pasteuri...

o.k. So I went a little crazy yesterday at Shoprite's can can sale. I have 6 cans of beets and I don't know what to do with them. I was going to do a Greek spin with a vinegar, feta, oregano kin...

Trying to include more veggie variety in my diet and I know beets are so good for you, but I just don't like the "earthy" taste. Any ideas on how to make them taste better?

We picked up some beets at the farmer's market. Currently, there is a pork shoulder (butt) in the oven at 200F; it will be pulled out sometime tomorrow. To accompany it, I'll cook the beet gree...

Should I vacuum seal them and keep them in the fridge (how long would they last in the fridge?), or the freezer?

Anybody tried cooking them in microwave? Good, bad, so-so results??

Is the beet the new veg du jour? OK, I'm seeing lots of things beets, beet juice, beet salad, wow that's really new, beet jam, beet powder, canned beets, different color beets, beets everywhere!...

i'm roasting some gorgeous beets from the farmers market but can't decide whether to wrap them in foil or not. what to do? what are the pros and cons or wrapping your beets?

Oooops... After roasting some lovely organic red beets last night I forgot to refrigerate them. Do they need to be thrown away now? My guess, yes. Since they are starchy like potatoes and...

Im preparing to make a batch of beet kvass and i was wondering if roasting the beets would release more sugars to provide more foods for the SCOBY. I know Beets are a non-starchy vegetable but i wa...

I know this is probably a stupid question, but are canned beets already cooked and then canned or are they raw and canned? I'm trying to make a radicchio salad with roasted beets, and I could only...

I'm in a vacation rental in rural France with a minimalist kitchen. I purchased some vacuum sealed cooked beets to go with a roast chicken for a simple supper, along with a simple salad. I have ...

I roasted golden and red beets, separately, the night before a dinner party. They were very fresh, since they came from an organic co-op delivery. Peeled, sliced, and put them in separate Tupperw...
