Beets have been around for thousands of years and were commonly eaten in Europe before they became popular in North America. Gold Beets can be consumed raw and are popularly shaved, shredded, julienned, or spiralized into salads, slaws, and soups. They can also be pickled for extended use, pureed for sauces, or blended into smoothies. Gold Beets are rich in vitamin C, fiber, folate, iron, manganese, copper, and potassium.
