Beets- yea or nay?

We are going to my moms for dinner this weekend, and she just told me that she bought me beets. I have no idea why....I have never eaten beets in my life. I think its the color, the texture, and the fact that it stains everything around it.

Can anyone come up with a good reason why I should try them? People are usually mixed on this...you either love them or you hate them. tia!

I was never drawn to trying them either until I heard how good they are for you. Definitely try them!

Sorry I hate them they taste like dirt. Its funny you asked this b/c I work at a school and they have salad bar for teachers and students. You can have beets added to your salad and surprisingly kids get them. I do live upstate now and some kids do live on farms but still its so weird!!!!

i love beets hahaha...but only made 2 specific ways (as beet soup and this like cold shredded way) but i also grew up eating them that way.

i think it really depends on how they are prepared : )

I don't like them at all..but my mom has always loved them. She makes a potatoe salad with lemon or viniergar and oil and adds the beets.
