Bouquet of Beets and Serving Suggestions

Welcome to segment number three on our first ever autumn garden. We had never planted beets before and had no clue what we were doing… But they did all the work and thinking for us. All we did was scatter some of the seeds into a little row, cover with earth and God's order of creation did the rest. Beets have the most beautiful and brilliant color in their stems. The root itself (the beet) reminds me of "jewels of the soil".

Beets are a good source of:

• Dietary fiber
• Vitamin C
• Iron
• Magnesium
• Manganese
• Potassium
• Niacin

Serving Suggestions:

Boil them until tender, peel them and slice them up for salads. Very tasty! Drizzle with Italian or ranch dressing.



You can also can pickled beets which are very delicious. I have shared our tutorial here.

Beets and any other garden produce can also be used in our "End of the Harvest" Soup. Visit here for the recipe!
