We get so locked into what is or isn't good without learning to explore a bit. I love beets when stewed. Try adding a little honey to diminish the bitter ones though. Help this helps.

Wish I could have been behind you in the check out line we love kohlrabi and usually eat it raw but its great stewed as well:-)) Beets taste great roasted with rosemary and extra virgin olive oil.

It's really very good in juice, if you don't over due it, which is easy to do, because beets tend to overpower, don't they? I used to work at a juice bar, and I would recommend juicing about 4 carrots, 1/4 beet and 1/4 - 1/2 lemon. A carrot, beet, lemon blend is one of my favorites. xoxo Amy P.S. Try carrot, apple and ginger if you haven't already. :-) Ok, I just read your comment about juicing with the beets.

They are a very tasty, dynamic vegetable. I don't know what "earthy" flavor dianne is talking about, maybe she didn't peel them. Beets are actually one of the sweetest vegetables available, good roasted, curried, boiled, even in pasta! You really should just jump in and try beets! They are a very tasty, dynamic vegetable.

I agree, it does taste good raw.<br /><br />Also, mashed rutabaga is one of my husband's favorite sides, and I've got to say it is pretty tastey. They take longer than potatoes to soften up, but otherwise it's pretty much the same deal. I just learned what kohlrabi was this fall. I agree, it does taste good raw.

I think that's what I'll do with the turnips!! Sound delicious, but then again, I'm a sucker for maple syrup. <br /><br />springsandwells - That's the rough plan I had for the veggies - we must be on the same wavelength. I definitely want to try the kohlrabi raw, but I'm debating between a soup and a vegan remoulade for the celery root.<br /><br />June - Yay for delurking!

I've made some nice soups with celery root, great roasted veggies with rutabega and potatoes, and I like kohlrabi raw with dip or in salad. Yummy!
