Have you ever bought a beautiful bunch of beets and just discard the leafy top? Most of us have. Not only are the stems and greens of beets edible, but they are nutritious and incredibly delicious. Beet greens are tender and have a mild, earthy flavour. You can add this as a side dish to any meat, on top of salads or added to bowls.
