Easy to grow on the allotment. Can be cooked cooled then olive oil and orange zest.

As a juice it's strong. Hits you with a punch.

Random amazingly interesting, historical beetroot factoid: Assyrian texts that say that beetroots were growing in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in the 800 BC.

That means that beetroot is fairly old

Yes it's very weird. The young leaves good in salad. Pickled with vinegar, good. Grated and cooked served hot, OK getting there. Eating In bed is a Nono, unmentionable stains everywhere
