Beets. They are so great for you, loaded with vitamins and minerals, and yet they are so uninviting with their tough outside coats. On a recent supermarket expedition, I decided that beets would be my new frontier! Purchased one, put it in the vege bin and then forgot about it (it was hidden beneath a yellow pepper). Luckily, root vegetables last for a while. I won’t mention how much time had passed, but decided that today is this hardy vege’s day! With a little patience, 30 minutes of boiling it in a pot full of hot water, I very much enjoyed eating this root vegetable. In fact, beet red may just be my new favorite color!
