I enjoy baked beetroot but find simmering much quicker so energy saving too. J, I guess whichever way you prefer! I enjoy baked beetroot but find simmering much quicker so energy saving too.

I've just finished my first ever batch, but baked mine. What is the best way, in your opinion? Are there any benefits to simmering over baking? Does it affect the flavour?

Thanks so much for visiting *my* blog, and what a delight it is to discover yours! My gardening father fed us a few too many beets when growing up so I've abstained 'til now -- but these look good. I've also read that beets make a wonderful (and chemical free) food coloring for cake frosting (you'd say "icing" in UK!) and such. Are they easy to grow, too? While I can hardly compete with living on a Spanish mountain and completely off-grid besides (!!!) we do heat entirely with wood (an oddity for sure in this ordinary US suburb) and make LOTS of dirt every year with our compost piles (plural!) <abbr><em>Almostgotit’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/almostgotit/~3/477117862/">Silverfinger</a></abbr></em> Hallo!
