You probably knew this, but I didn't -- that you can eat beets raw? So far I like them grated the best. They can make a really hearty salad-meal that way. One beet per person, some fruit (raspberries and apples are super), a handful of nuts, a little olive oil, dash of salt...maybe a squeeze of lemon...and woila! (Please forgive, I do like words like "per," "dash" and "squeeze"...maybe they remind me of my mom.)

It really is very good.
