  • Beets are Good for Us

    Beets are sweet tasting dark purple root vegetables grown in the ground. Eating locally grown vegetables and traditional foods helps keep our bodies healthy.

    What Do We Know about Beets?

    Beets have been grown for thousands of years in many parts of the world and are grown by our local gardeners as well. The green and red leaves and stems taste great in salads. If you are buying beets, look for ones that are hard and round.
