Beets are one of those vegetables that simply get ignored unless you really like the taste. These dark red gems are chalked full of nutritional value and while they may not taste good to all, they are healthy enough that you should find a way to get past the taste so you can add them to your daily diet intake. They are mostly abundant in the wintertime because that is the normal growing season for beets. Beets can be consumed raw, fermented, cooked, or juiced.
