Beetroot! Goodness, what on earth made me think I could review this root vegetable? Not sure now as I proposed it a while ago, but as they have been merrily growing in the garden I thought I could write about them. So! What is it? For those who want to grow it. Beetroot is a vegetable ... Read review

Baby beets, home grown beets
Review of Beetroot by solamarie

Advantages: Full of fibre and fat free
Disadvantages: ?

...want to grow it. Beetroot is a vegetable that grows in British gardens during the late spring and summer. It has rather attractive leaves, generally green with deep red veins above ground and below ground a globe swells to be pulled up, cooked and eaten. You can buy packets of seeds in lots of places that sell seeds. Garden centres sell them, a lot of supermarkets sell them and a well known D.I.Y. store that sells seeds and plants as well sell them. ...
...seeds lightly along the row. Beetroot seeds come in clusters so you will get clusters of plants coming up together so don't sow too thickly or you will have to pull loads out to give them room to swell. Keep the row relatively weed free, water in dry weather and wait….. You should be able to pull small roots of beet about 12 weeks later, you can pull in-between ones out and cook baby beets and leave the others to fill the spaces thus giving you larger ...

Review of Beetroot by tixonya

Advantages: Fat free, fibre rich all round great tasting vegetable
Disadvantages: none

...all know by now that Beetroot is very good for us. It has recently been featured in many programmes on tv and articles in newspapers Supermarkets picked up on trend and stock it on permanent basis now. Beetroot's main benefits are that it contains no fat, very few calories and is a great source of fibre. But what do you do with that? There are lots of different recipes, but I thought I'd share with you one which dead simple to make, takes no ...
...pack or 2 of cooked beetroot depending on how many people you are cooking for. (just cooked beetroot, but not the one in vinegar) 2 medium cloves of garlic(great for your immune system) per 250 gr pack of beetroot about 2 spoon full of mayonese (light will do, but I personally find untasty) salt That's it!!! and watch your clock :-) 1. Grate your beetroot using usual size grader( not the fine). Food proccessor also is fine. Avoid using wooden ... Read review

Eeeeeuuuuuuuggggghhhhhh
Review of Beetroot by Waffs

Advantages: Cheap clothing dye
Disadvantages: Fell out the ugly tree

...and boys, what role does beetroot play in the modern world? This archaic vegetable must surely be consigned to the Dark Ages as it has no gastronomic benefit to the 21st century. Apart from pickling in tart vinegar or adding to an unhearty broth like dish (i.e. soup), I simply cannot understand how one might utilise such a root (vegetable). To excite potential purchasers and to tittilate the tastebuds, beetroot picklers across the land market ...
...being sold at the end of the day remains an unpalatably textured, garishly coloured accompaniement to no meal, the dye of which inevitably diffuses itself on all food whch it surrounds. Nevertheless, when eaten with a table spoonful of lard, a sliced beetroot makes a scrumptious late evening snack. ... Read review
