Beets are at their best in the fall and winter, so add a pop of colour to your plates this season. They’re just as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the tastebuds, but here’s more to beets than just good looks: they’re jam packed with flavour and nutrients, too. Quick tip: toss the cooked beets, feta, and nuts with a few handfuls of fresh greens for a warm salad.
