Why do people call it beetroot? It's longer and no one that isn't pretentious calls it that.

Ive tried to like these. They sell them in plastic packs of like...12 in the vegetable section refridgerated.

I think they taste like dirt or something. They are definately unique and make your mouth red like youve been eating a slush or something

Try getting really fresh ones. Idk I think they taste like dirt too, but my mom makes them taste amazing and I seriously can't get enough of them. I'm too worried that I would fuck them up to make them myself.

How is that possible? Nothing gets by me. The only thing I don't understand is why people call lightning Jews "firebugs".

I was really surprised how good golden beets are. They are sweeter than red beets and when served chilled they work great in salads.

Beets also have greens which are very delicious when cooked right.

Yes, without the Internet I fear that I might be an uneducated moron. I'm not sure though. Not that I'm claiming to have a wealth of knowledge, but there are a lot of wonderful nifty little things that I've learned. I also like ordering things on the Internet.

Are they intended to be eaten together with the root or separately?

No you spastic, its name is a beetroot. Let me guess, you're an American being arrogant as per usual.

You sound pretty arrogant as well. Obviously they are called and recognized by both names. What's the problem?

>> No.6461949

>>6461909
Depends on how you have them can be both. In Eastern Europe there are versions of borsch with the beet greens as well. In fact I'd say it's more common than without the greens. But the greens can also be cooked on their own as you would with collard greens.

life hack: put a beetroot in your wash with your white business shirts and they'll come out softer than silk.

Beetroot slices on hanburgers are an Aussie tradition.
I've made beetroot brownies before which were nice.

>Dunno the difference between beets and beetroots

Although this is not an official rate thread, feel free to do it if you like.
Wifey made this a few days ago:
Lentils w/bacon dices and beet(root) slices topped with a shallot vinaigrette and crumbled feta. Served on a cold salad.

Beets and Swiss Chard are the same plant species, just one is bred for huge delicious roots, and the other is bred for huge delicious leaves.

>> No.6462448

I love beetroot, but is it odd that I honestly can't tell much a difference between freshly cooked and ones from a tin/jar/vac-pack?
I tend to buy tinned ones because they're minimally more expensive than fresh (by about 18¢ per pound) but require no extra work on my end.
Plus, I use the tin liquid instead of plain water in my brine when pickling eggs.

I've heard about something similar which I've wanted to try; instead of baking them you cook them grated/finely sliced in a skillet with a little sugar, and then mix with sourcream.
Sounds good but I always end up eating most of my beets before they even make it into whatever dish I had planned for them. Warm beets straight from the water are the best.
