Beets

About

Stained fingers and kitchen counters are well-worth it for this delicious and delightful root, and in the world of vegetable-related wordplay, it's unbeetable. Its culinary uses know no bounds: try them roasted, boiled, in soups, or for baking. Like many root vegetables, they can be direct sown early and succession sown until late in the season, and after harvest they can be stored for winter.
