我愛甜菜 ABC 果汁


Apple 蘋果 + Beet 甜菜 + Carrot 紅蘿蔔 = ABC 果汁

蘋果紅蘿蔔大家都知道,甜菜是什麼?
1. 在寫這一篇文章之前,以為它是根莖類植物(其實錯了!是草本植物,我們吃的是根的部份)。
2. 除了甘蔗之外製作糖的原料之一。
3. 顏色深紅,是古代用來當作紅色的染料。如果衣服不小心沾到,那可沒啥辦法可挽救。
4. 現在是季節,greenmarket 每一攤,小山都堆很高。
5. 對身體很好(含豐富的維生素 C 和維生素 A ),而且可以幫助改善消化系統(意思是xx會變順暢),要多吃就對了。





台灣哪裡買?? 我在台北天母的大葉高島屋 Jasons Market Place 曾經買過。和進口蔬菜放一起,用塑膠盒子裝的,但沒有葉子,只有根的部份。

what a pretty color!! too bad that beets are a lit bit too sweet for me to consume.....

Surprise to learn that beet is herbaceous plant, I thought it's root vegetable. How about the leave part, can we consume it?

yeah, we can eat the leaves as well, it can be sauteed like swiss chard, not sure about eating raw in a salad though, maybe the leave will be too tough.
