Most people only think about the earthy roots, but the leafy greens and vibrant stems are packed with nutrition and flavor. In this short, I’m sharing why beets are one of the most versatile crops in our backyard garden.
From roasting those jewel-toned roots to sautéing the crunchy stems and tender greens, almost nothing goes to waste. If you are looking for a productive, easy-to-grow cool-season crop for your small garden or raised beds, this is it!
