Why: Practically mythical, the underutilized jewel-like flesh glistens with earthy, fuschia brilliance. Beets are simple, versatile, beautiful and delicious. With flavors reminiscent of the fertile soils of spring. The 'beeting' valentine heart of vegetables. February is an exquisite time for beets.
How: Roast whole beets for about an hour (a little longer if they're huge) slice and dress with citrus, olive oil, vinegar and salt. Serve as a side dish to grilled meat or fish, add orange or grapefruit segments if you like, or spoon over a salad of microgreens and top with goat cheese and walnuts as a first course. Beeterrific.
