Beets – More Uses Than You Imagined

Beets have become one of our most popular products. Just look below at all the ways they can be used and you’ll see why! This season we’ll be offering four varieties. First, the sweet and tender red beets are always a favorite. Second, gold beets add a vibrant color with a mild flavor. Third, unique and beautiful candy-striped chioggia beets. Fourth, new this season is the Badger Flame gold beet. A unique oblong golden beet cultivar developed with flavor-first chefs and consumers in mind. A perfectly mild and sweet golden beet that is delightful when eaten raw or cooked.

Beets are delicious and versatile, fitting well into a healthy and balanced diet. They are low in calories and a great source of nutrients and antioxidants. Beets also contain nitrates and pigments that may help lower blood pressure and improve athletic performance. Beet greens are also a great source of fiber, protein, phosphorus, and zinc.
