We rarely cook any of them because of the great health benefits of the raw juice. Beets contain iron, calcium, sulfur, and potassium. Their rich mineral content contributes directly to the well being of the liver and gall bladder while building the blood and stimulating the lymph glands. Beet juice is powerful stuff. Never drink it solo! Here is a recipe that we like:
1 apple
3 carrots
1 wedge of lemon
1/4 of a medium beet
Beets also combine well with celery or cucumber juice. We use the beet greens in our green smoothies. All these wonderful vegetables from our garden contain everything we need to stay healthy and free from disease. Each year we have the opportunity to rebuild our blood and cleanse our liver by juicing beets! Sounds better than doctors and medications, huh?

We have a bunch of beet greens fin the fridge from our friends garden; I think I'll put them to good use and make us some smoothies!
Lets hear it for beets! I have TERRIBLE spring allergies when I'm out west. That is unless I start drinking beet juice before the spring pollen hits. Then I don't get allergies at all. It is remarkable.
Lets see some more garden pictures!
