Three quarts of pickled beets are happening next in my kitchen. This is my own recipe. I grow beets every year to make them. THEY ARE SO GOOD.

Not a beets fan. But they look great in the canning jar!

Such a purdy color, indeed!

I am definitely going to grow some beets. Need a garden section of all the stuff I’m the only one who will eat. Asparagus, alliums, beets, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas... Mine!! All mine!! Bwahahaha

Go Foggy Go!

Powdered beets make excellent food colouring.

Interesting trivia!

I tried making o-dango a while back (I think I lost my notes on best proportions, sadly) and I tried using natural food colours. Beet powder does awesomely, but if you put too much the dango tastes faintly of dirt. Turmeric is Too Much for any tinting level, so something else needs to be used. Matcha, I think; and butterfly pea flower powder.
