i found myself fighting the urge to pick them too soon. for the longest time i had no idea that i could actually eat the tops of the beets, which means many, many, beet greens have been thrown in the trash by me without a thought. when it finally hit me that these beautiful greens were actually edible and that i could cook and eat them, i wondered why it had taken me so long to do so! my husband is not a fan of beets at all. however, he is an ultra fan of the stalks on this vegetable. i can’t blame him, the greens produced from the beets
