About Beet greens, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

The beet, also known as the beetroot, is a sweet, earthy root vegetable famous for its deep crimson color, though golden, white, and candy-striped Chioggia varieties turn up at markets too. Both the round root and its leafy green tops are edible and nutritious, so little goes to waste. Beets are a good source of fiber, folate, potassium, and manganese, plus natural nitrates that researchers have studied for supporting healthy blood pressure and athletic stamina, and the pigment betalain gives them their vivid hue.

They can be roasted until tender and caramel-sweet, boiled, steamed, spiralized, or shredded raw into slaws and salads, and they are the star of Eastern European borscht and jars of pickled beets, while the greens cook up much like Swiss chard or spinach. Beets will stain hands and cutting boards, so gloves and a quick rinse help. Trim the tops about an inch above the root to keep them from drawing out moisture, and store beets unwashed in the refrigerator, where they stay firm for weeks.
