Beets

General Tips

• Peel beets only after cooking, because they will bleed during cooking if the crown is cut; after boiling for 30 minutes-2 hours, trim tops and bottoms, hold under cold running water and pull off skin
• Bake beets whole, peeled, cubed or sliced, or cook beet greens for a pungent side dish
