Beetroot

What do you think of beetroot? Do you like it or not?

I recently made a beetroot salad for lunch and my partner said - it's sounds lovely but without the beetroot. He hates beetroot.

I recently came across a top 20 or a top 10 world's most hateddl foods. I forget what I came across or if it was a TikTok with the list of foods. I nodded my head along with agreement with many on the list but number 1 took me by surprise. The number 1 food hated by a lot of people was beetroot.

I love beetroot and come to think of it, not many around me like it. My family hates beetroot as does my partner and also some people in work hate it too.

I love fresh beetroot.

the pickled stuff in a jar is vile.

I love fresh beetroot. I’m fairly sure it’s full of things that are good for you too.

Yummy. I grow it and roast it. Fab veg when not pickled and great.in beetroot hummus too!

I love beetroot. I prefer fresh. But I have a soft spot for pickled too.

I'm not a fan of the beetroot in a jar, but the beetroot in a packet that you buy in the vegetable aisles - I like that one.

I love making a beetroot dip which is beetroot and creme fraice.

I made a beetroot soup for my lunch today.

Love it!!

Not sure about beetroot soup though

It's a regular in our house as it is something everyone likes. It is lovely roasted alongside carrots etc with a roast dinner, and is liked by the DC more that swede, turnip or celeriac as it is denser in texture and not to 'wet'.

it's so good for you. Unfortunately I really, really hate it. I've tried so hard. I've baked it into cakes. I've made soups and stews and roasted it and grated it and I just have to admit that I loathe the stuff and give up.

A fresh beetroot & cucumber sandwich on thick white bread with salad cream is one of the most wonderful things in the world!

Not *SO 'wet'.
Plus, for sheer fun in the kitchen, I love it when it's been baked wrapped in foil and I peel it by donning rubber gloves and just sliding off the skins with my thumbs. It's so satisfying!

Love pickled beetroot

I think the pickled sliced stuff that left hideous stains on your 1980s school and tainted your chips put me off . Salad day at primary school usually involved luncheon meat and beetroot. Grim.

Absolutely love it, pickled, fresh, all ways!

I love it fresh and grated but not pickled

Eating it right now. Love it.

@SummersBreeze can I have your dip recipe that sounds lovely.

Love Beetroot in any form. I could eat a jar of it with a fork and be in Beetrooty heaven. Beetroot salad right up my street, fresh and yummy

Just to add don’t like the jar stuff but like the salad ones - vacuum packed. But also love it fresh roasted

We love it in all forms in this hose and grow it.
Dmum hates it, says it tastes of dirt, which I kind of get.

Having some chill beetroot as we speak. Was going to make a proper lunch but got waylaid with its deliciousness.

*chilli beetroot

I love beetroot. It's really tasty, especially baked in the oven with olive oil and seasonings.

Beetroot soup is lovely with crumbled feta on top. We call it vampire soup though!

Very good for you if you suffer with high blood pressure

I love beetroot! Plain or pickled, beetroot salad (not the watery one with carrot, eugh), there's a nice beetroot salad dressing you can get too. Definitely roasted. Beetroot crisps. Dead good. Buy no DH doesn't like it either.

I'm off to look up beetroot soup now! Xx

It's lovely. It was served as an appetizer when I went visiting Australia a few years ago. I fell in love with it. I never got a recipe. There's some recipes online but I make my own. I take about 2 round beets and I chop them up. Then I get the handheld blender and blend them up til smooth. Then I dump some tablespoons of creme fraice in and mix it all up.
