Fresh Beets
The beet is the fleshy root of a plant believed to have originated in North Africa. Beets can be more or less fleshy and have a thin, smooth skin. The flesh is usually deep red but can also be white; the edible leaves are quite colorful and curly. There are several varieties of beet, including fodder beet used to feed livestock, and the sugar beet, which is processed to make sugar and alcohol. |
