What are beetroots REALLY for ?!
Answers:
Beets are very nutritious. Learn to eat them and you will be glad.
The beetroot, also known as the table beet, garden beet, red beet or informally simply as beet, is one of the many cultivated varieties of beets (Beta vulgaris) and arguably the most commonly encountered variety in North America and Britain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetroot
I prefer the canned variety rather than fresh, but use them like any other veggie.
They make a good salad and I've pickled them. But the latest use for them is to dissolve gallstones, takes a couple of weeks of juicing them and drinking the juice for them to dissolve, drank it last summer for 6 weeks and this summer for a couple weeks, better than medicine.
I make Harvard beets out of them. Open the can, pour the juice into a sauce pan, put in some flour, pepper, a little margarine, a little sugar, and a tad of vinegar, heat while stirring until thickened. Add beets from the can. They are delicious and easy.
EATING!
In my household for placing between two slices of freshly baked bread liberally smothered with freshly churned butter!
If there is beetroot in the house any diets currently in practice get thrown out of the window!
EATING !!!!! What else? rubbing them on your skin to turn red?????
You can buy them pickled or buy them fresh and boil them. serve hot sliced or cold with a meal or salad.
