Description
If you've read my food blog, or my cookbooks, you know that I love beets in any form. To me they are one of the most beautiful vegetables on earth, and are considered a superfood because of its health benefits. Beets not only lower blood pressure by helping improve blood flow, but increase a person's stamina and energy. They're packed with fiber, vitamins A, B & C, magnesium, and iron.
I love that deep purple of the beetroot, it's like the color of burgundy wine. The green tops, when sauteed with onion, garlic, salt, and a smidgen of water make the most wonderful side dish, much better than spinach but similar in flavor and texture.
Fortunately for me, Kumu Farms, grows beets almost year-round here on Moloka'i. It must be the acid volcanic soil of the Hawaiian islands that makes their beets so full of life, and delicious!

A beautiful image if beets straight out of the ground! We have beetroot nearly every day, but only in pickled form, as that is the only way that my husband will eat them.

Some people like beets and some don't... I love them. My wife just likes the tops. Thanks Kathryn!
