Beetroot,how do you like yours?

Beetroot, hailed as the new superfood,cooked and soaked in vinegar..............I absolutely love it with salads,cold meats and in sandwiches.
Apparently it is high in nitrates and reduces high blood pressure,I see the supermarkets sell beetroot juice,not sure quite how that would go down.......I suppose it would be easy to juice with a juicer,anybody have any other ideas?

 

I love beetroot and bought some today in fact. But I don't like it pickled only fresh or in the shrink wrapped packs which are pre-cooked.

Strangely enough, I was looking out a recipe for home-made ice cream for a friend here today and came across beetroot ice cream ... sounds rather interesting.

 

In a sandwich :hehe: YUM!!

 

Sitting watching telly with a fork and a jar of the good stuff yummmmmmmm.

 

I just love beetroot. I cook it in the pressure cooker then eat it warm with nothing on it.

 

I too dont like beetroot in vinegar, you can get that all year round and it tastes of,....vinegar, funnily enough.
I just like them boiled in a salad with nothing on.

Mind you it can be a bit shocking the next morning.

 

After being force fed boiled beetroot cubes and mash in school lunches in the 50`s and early 60`s I HATE IT.:gnthb:

 

The wife loves it, but I absolutely hate it.

 

Arr, but bear in mind that the country's emergency food supply for the cold war was hidden in the school meals system, then the beetroot you & I were being fed was probably not that fresh.

Mum used to work in school meals, there was six months supply in the system, put in at one end & then fed to us baby boomers 6 months later. Tinned, frozen & dried, it was our country's food security.

OK, I'll compost them in the oven:lollol:
