Love all beets, beet greens, beet juice, beet pickles, grated beet in my slaw and sauerkraut.
the yellow and white are much more mild. Love all the arugula varieties and radishes. I pickled the black radishes last fall and someone at work wanted to try them. When i presented on a small plate everyone else in the room thought a bag of rotting garbage had been opened somewhere. haha.
Very earthy.
Don't care much for okra unless pickled. And i grew rat-tail radish last year and tasted bland and stringy tough...but might have been my climate. Pickling did not help. A shame...huge plants.
I'm always picking up the odd this and that when i'm in ChinaTown and do a google search when i get home...fresh turmeric is strange. Some of the greens are very bitter.
