Making the Case for Beets


In my latest NPR piece, "Making the Case for Beets," I explore the deep-seated antipathy towards beets. People have said they taste like, metal, dirt, even smelly socks. That's some hard-core beet hate.

The piece has caused a lot of beet buzz with many comments both praising and bashing beets. I'd love to know where you stand. Do you love beets? Hate them? Let us know, either here in the comment section or over at NPR's comment section.

And don't forget to check out the four recipes I've included.
