Is it a fruit or a vegetable ?

I think of it as a forbidden fruit, probably what Eve couldn't stop munching on in the Garden of Eden, along with a nice cheese sandwich Tongue Out

It is full of carbs and sugar.  Cheese is full of fat.  Bread is also stuffed with carbs and nasties.
I am sorry but you will have to starve.
Eve may well have had something else in her mouth!!

cary grant featured Borscht soup in a film with Ronald colman? jean arthur. will need to look up the title? beetroot soup. with sour cream?

Defo a vegetable.  Easy to grow from seed and loads of recipes out there. My favourite is boil, cool, strip the skin, quarter, douse with olive oil on a baking tray then add a little honey and lots of fresh thyme sprigs (more than you think might be necessary), and then roast simply in the oven.

Hi Diva!

I thought it was a vegetable, but only coz it's always reduced with the real rubbish, always make sure I grab a box Happy

I'll never starve, my freezer's jam packed full of goodies, though purple poop sounds kinda cool Cool

Beetroot that is...
Report Foinavon • March 13, 2017 9:11 PM GMT
It's a swollen root although all parts of the plant are edible. Young leaves in salad and the roots make excellent chutney.

I can't be doing with beetroot personally, I find it a tad dull same with celery which quite frankly is fairly pointless.

Love beetroot. The pickled variety that is. How many eat fresh beetroot I wonder?

It is fairly high in carbs but then its a small portion food (unlike pasta, potatoes, rice, bread) so that negates most of the insulin spike problems you get with many carbs.

Russians love it.....

Borsch is the famous soup in many Russian families, as well as many Eastern and Central European countries.
The recipes of borsch vary, but vegetables (mainly beet) and sour cream are always the main ingredients. The beetroot used in cooking borsch gives the soup its trademark deep reddish-purple color.

served with sour cream & chopped chives , crusty bread....

Enjoy

Report betting_masta • March 23, 2017 6:43 AM GMT
anything that is very deeply coloured is good for you  & the deeper the colour the better it is for you. so beetroot is above radish and spinach is above round lettuce.
it also will contain fibre which is good for your digestive system.

Great with poached eggs.

Just don't accidentally fall backwards on one and get it lodged up your backside as it requires lots of explaining at A&E and they won't be fooled when you say you are having problems with a particularly large Chalfont...Blush

Read some research a while back that it has a proven beneficial effect for athletes, and I think some of them chug it down before events.
I love it. Not as much as carrot juice though. I love carrot juice. If I was a "furry", I'd be a rabbit :P
