Golden Beets

My friend S gave me some of these golden beets recently.  Her sister actually has a farm. They are the size of new potatoes and when you cut them, they are yellow inside. I put a couple of handfuls into some chicken soup I was making, they are sweet tasting and I liked them.  I just cut the ends off and left the skins on.  I also put in a handful of sliced red beets which turned the soup red, so I imagine the golden beets would have turned the soup yellow. Anyway, I had never seen these golden beets before, have you?  In fact I haven't seen them in the supermarkets.

  3. They are on sale here, but often much bigger, I think the smaller ones are tenderer - I love them! Valerie

  5. I've never seen these, but then, I haven't bought beets in ages. I'll have to check next time I'm at the market.

  7. I just saw some at Whole Foods this morning when I was picking out cilantro. I had to lay the bunch of cilantro on the beets, both red and yellow, while I opened a plastic bag. There is also a beet that has red and white circles inside. /we get that one and the red ones in our CSA box bur not until winter time.
