Beet is a root vegetable, which means it grows underground alongside its colleagues, potato and carrot. It’s colored an extremely saturated red (beet red) and is generally boiled for preparation. Beets saw a rise in popularity after a successful marketing campaign that featured the quip “the incredible, edible beet.”

Beets, though not very flavorful, taste good. Their intense color helps make up for some of this shortcoming.
