Beets - to cook or not to cook!
I love beets!
For a while, I was preparing them (from fresh) for a delicious beet salad that I make, but then I wondered if I was losing all (or most) of their excellent nutrients by boiling them.
I've seen some recipes recently that call for grated beets. Now, do you just grate them when they're raw after you've peeled them?
Or do you cook them first and then grate them?
How do you cook them? (i.e. how long / what method)
I'd love any ideas / recipes you have using fresh beets. Thanks so much!
