Yellow beets

Besides the rich red colored beets there are also these gorgeous yellow ones and if you are lucky you can find chioggia which are candy striped. I buy the yellow ones when they are available. They are rich with a different group of vitamins and minerals than the red ones but equally nutritious. When you slice beets you see the wonderful rings inside which show up nicely in a salad
