In celebration of our gathering of fresh beets from a garden in Eastern Washington, we are featuring Old School's how-to of "Propagating Beet Greens"...
Beet greens, though they may seem like throw-aways, are actually comparable to kale and chard and delicious sauteed. Not to mention they fulfill your green veggie requirement for the week and one cup cooked (cooked gets you more bang for your buck than raw with this one) is packed with vitamin K (769%), vitamin A (78%), and potassium (28%)*. Trust us on this one, they are soon to be the next kale!
