Beet greens are soul food? I didn’t know that.

I love beet greens, especially when you get some tiny tiny beets in them. You have to be careful though, beet greens and spinach are high in oxalic acid.

What is the issue with oxalic acid?

I would love to have access to mustard, horseradish. beet, etc. greens to try and cook them the way my grandmother did for me once she found out how much I enjoyed them.

Ah, the bite of mustard or horseradish greens and a touch of bacon!

Just how we used to eat them. Plant them thick and then eat the small ones as we thinned them.
