Baby beets for lunch, i forgot how good they could be just simply boiled.

Not sure i will be sharing with anyone. 

Sometimes the best way is just on its own. Let the veg shine in its own glory.

I know MOS will be reaching for her bucket right now

That's my favourite way of eating them.  I usually steal some while my mum is trying to peel them for pickling.  At least with all that beetroot you wont be having to take the ghastly iron tablets that I have been prescribed.  When is your baby due again?

19th august. I usually get iron after delivery because of my habit of heavy bleeds, evil tablets i'll take the beetroot.

Not long to go now for you then.  I was recommended prune juice and am finding that a small glass of that every morning is preventing the unpleasant side effects.

Ooohh I'm jealous. Love beets but it will be a while before mine are ready. I might have to get some from the supermarket.....

I feel cream crackered so i am hoping maybe just this once i dont go over. I am absolutely huge and not sleeping great, plus heartburn i want an end to this as soon as possible.  this heat is crippling too. Your due before me arent you. 

Tosca i would send you a bucket if i could, the skins just slid off they were beautiful.

I almost always just roast them simply wrapped in tin foil with a little drizzle of olive oil and some salt and pepper.

I roast a lot too but they are fab everyway if you ask me 

[arugula]

I love them too. Even with cheese.

Weeeel, the golden beets and Chioggias are not great in the boiling stakes. However, roasting them (as I learned on this very forum) elevates them to new culinary heights.  So if you think your beet is a bit lacking or a tad earthy then roast it and bring it to its stickiest, gorgeous best.
