Beets

Typically available July/August, and into the fall.

We sometimes grow beets on the farm (though usually only enough to make a few cases of our own pickled beets to send to farmers’ markets), so we source them from a local farm.

Beet greens can be boiled or steamed and used similarly to spinach. Beets themselves can be steamed, boiled, baked, pickled and eaten in salads. *beet recipes*

*to keep beets fresh at home*

• refrigerate
• trim greens off of the bulbs (as they will suck up moisture)
