We grow these babies because they are so delicious steamed and buttered.
With a crop like this, we can make only about five meals, since they greatly reduce in volume while cooking.
These are the thinnings from a row planted too thickly, on purpose, to allow for this rare delicacy on our table. The rest will grow into regular beets and the tough tops will go to our chickens.
We’ll all be munching happily!
