>>Interesting. I don't much like most vegetables, but in the past few years, figured out that beets are pretty good. Until then, I'd only ever had canned beets. But when I started buying and cooking fresh beets, I discovered that you can make 'em pretty tasty. (One thing I do involves a light sauce with honey and orange juice.)

I find the dye to be more of an issue when I'm preparing beets than when I'm eating them. Maybe something about how I cook them?

In addition to the recipe I mentioned above, I've also started using beets in some soups and stews. For years, I've chopped a parsnip and thrown in it, on the "more vegetables are better" policy. Now, I'll sometimes use a beet or two instead.
