I don’t think you’re even supposed to eat bets straight up? You’re supposed to boil them down to make something you still won’t like. Raw Sugar beets taste like drywall. You have to shred them then steam them down to extract the sugar. The cows love the leftovers on their hay. The cows, of course, then taste just fine. Nothing’s ever simple——
Well, yeah raw the beets would be like eating raw potatos.
My wife like em canned or cooked.
