 My wife and son somehow find them edible. They must be weird.

Absolutely, I eat beets. The greens are better than spinach.

They sure taste like the ground they came out of, so I understand why some people hat them. I could not eat them as a kid, I'd literally get nauseated. Now I do eat them. I like them in winter as a vegetable, in summer only in salads. I like to boil them and then put them in salads or grade them in. They are very healthy.

Beth makes the best borscht in the world... cold with shredded beets and topped with real sour cream... Great on a hot summer day or a cold winter one!

Beets taste and smell like dirt.

Try them off the BBQ. Wrap in tin foil and roast them on the grill for about 20-30 minutes. Delicious!

Once had a four hour standoff at the kitchen table with my mom over beets. I won.
YACK! Love raw turnips with a dash of salt though!

Yes, need to learn how to cook them... usually get them in a premade salad.

I put one a day in my juicer. A year a two ago I would have told you taste like dirt and refused them but I have started to like them in salads.
I've been tossing the greens out. Should I juice those too? |

No middle ground with beets. I love them - except for those cubed things that came out of a can as a kid. They had some specific name they seemed to be known by, but I can't remember...
