Oh, the humble beet! This workhorse of a vegetable will find its way to the table in so many forms - roasted, boiled, raw, pickled, sautéed, pureed in soups, juiced, and dehydrated. Roots can store for 1 to 4 months without the tops, bringing bright and nutritious food to the dinner table in the middle of winter. Of course, the greens are delicious too, and can be cooked just like spinach or chard.
