A little tardy on commenting on this post..sorry.

It seems that the health benefits from beets is catching on here as well. I usually sell small bunchs of beets c/w greens at the farmers market. I had one lady ask if she could buy 50 pounds from me.
I asked what she would do with 50 lbs of them, thinking she was going to be pickling them. She said she makes juice from them, and likes to drink it daily. Sounds like a good plan after reading that article..

My favorite veggie ever, and I didn't plant nearly enough this year.
