They have a milder, slightly sweeter taste than the typical red beets found in grocery stores. When cooked, they can be used in salads and other dishes or served as a side dish. Golden beets contain some of the same cancer fighting antioxidants as green tea and many other vegetables. They also contain numerous health benefits such as high levels of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

With all these benefits it’s no wonder golden beets have become such a popular choice for salads!
