Drink beets as a juice. Beet juice goes well with carrots, cucumber and celery.
Salad
Peel, grate and eat as a salad (i.e. with raisins, grated carrot and apples!)
Pickled
Peel, grate and add purified water, apple cider vinegar (unpasteurized), sea salt, stevia or raw agave (and herbs). Let stand for at least 8 hours or overnight at room temperature.
