Beets give alot! root & greens

[Catrin]

Now that the weather's turned colder, I think I can safely see if I like beets. My first thought is to roast the suckers.
Catrin, do the golden beets have a somewhat milder flavor than their red/purple cousins?

Yes Owlie, they do - at least to me. I've not seen the beets that Oakleaf mentioned, and the goldens can be hard to find in the store. Of course they still taste like beets I really like to just saute the greens in ghee (homemade ghee from grass-fed butter) or bacon drippings with onions and mushrooms.

I've thought about trying my hand at making beet kvass, which is a traditional fermented probiotic tonic. I will eventually try it, it is just the whole fermenting thing that has me nervous as I've never done it.
