Hmmm, I wonder if I can get the vendor to whack the beets and just give me the greens -- then he/she can worry about disposal. Yeah, yeah, you told me about the greens.

There are some markets that sell the greens and roots separately, or sell the greens attached to baby roots instead of the big honkers. That'd save you considerable pain and suffering.

In my opinion beet greens are more tender and flavorful, closer to spinach, than chard, but both are very good. I plant both. Chard of course yields a larger greens crop by about triple, but no succulent root. http://www.burpee.com/shopping/produ...=609&itemType= PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=chard ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

I like (LOVE) beet greens more than beets too. In the olden daze, when beets came with stems and the grocer cut them off in the store, I'd ask them for the greens (which were free). They couldn't believe that I actually ATE them. <sigh> Now the secret is out. They are much, much, tastier than red chard. Practice safe eating - always use condiments |
