According to a new study, drinking beetroot juice reduces oxygen needs during exercise and can allow you to work out 16% longer, and run faster. It also reduces blood pressure.

The possibilities of plant breeding and how little credit most give it amaze me. Earth is a living eco-system, and will have a self regulating system of our removal, if necessary. We must learn to ride the wave

Ehmm I like share my scary experience with beet (red ones) too... we never have beet on our table since I was a child as my Mum find the colour too dominant for any cooking.
I grew my first ever beet during 2006 (Holland red blood type), me and hubbie ate the first harvested beet for dinner... the next morning at the small room we were shock with the colour...

Eversince I only grow the yellow one (Golden beet)

.

I have a dating agency for squashes and several other vegetables.

I had steamed beets and beet greens for lunch today. Probably one of few who enjoy them that way rather with a proper meal. One day may be with vinegar over them, next may be butter. A person never can eat too many of them.
