I remember when we first grew some Detroit Dark Red Beets in our garden, and we didn’t know what to do with them. The taste wasn’t that pleasing, whether we used them in a salad or prepared them in something else. It was hard to come up with a meal to make with them. After a while, I figured we should stop growing them. One day, my mom decided to juice a few and make a beverage. Surprisingly, it was very delicious, and we all enjoyed it. Sooner or later, we learned that beet juice is a good substitute for an organic plant-based food coloring. There are probably more ways to use beets that we still don’t know about, we just have to do some research about it. Now we know that beets are not useless. Every year, we love to grow beets and enjoy the juice as we produce it.
