  1. I juice beets all the time. People cringe, but honestly, they taste great. I usually add organic apple, carrot and celery to further enhance the taste and health benefits.

    I like juicing beets as well, but they are messy! Do not wear white clothes when working with beets.

      I used to go to a lot of trouble but over time I developed a very simple approach. Simply wash / scrub the unpeeled beet under cold water (clearing off major debris or scab material is your option; use a paring knife as needed).
      Place the beet (or beets) in a corning ware style cookware with a cover Very little water needed). Place this in the microwave for 3 – 6 minutes (depending on the size of the beet or beets). Do not open. Let it stand until it cools.
      The beet will come out with the consistency of a hard apple. It is actually great to simply slice it right on a plate and eat it as is (I eat the cleaned / steamed skin as well; but that is a ,matter of taste and judgement (quality / organic?).
      You can also lightly pickle this or slice it for heating in a more delicate service (heat very gently; thin slices only take under a minute…thicker a bit more to taste and softness.
      This method minimizes handling and the red staining that is part of other preparations. The nutrients are best when minimal handling and quick steaming in the microwave is applied. Remember that if you place too much water in the microwave container it will boil rather than steam.
      Bon Appetite !
