I had some difficulties at first, particularly in assembling it correctly. But I got the hang of it before long. Now I am juicing stuff almost every day. It's mostly carrots, but beets play a part. I love that purple-red inky look.

We will have to twist Tancho's arm to make the "Kielbasa" (Киэлбаза in Russian). <br /><br />By the way, I was going to make beets today but I think the weather is already too warm. The only beets at the market looked like giant horse turds.

I toyed around with the idea of making some sauerkraut but is is a bit complicated to do it right. I seldom see sauerkraut in the market. I only found it once or twice in León and I ate it with gusto.

I love them, Grow them, Cook them , Pickle them, Roast them, and best Eat them!<br />They do have an earth taste when they become too mature like the cantalope size you do see at the mercado all the time, but new beets and smaller mature ones are great and good for you.

Kind of reminds me of Love Potion #9..."It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India Ink"...but if you are a little bit "estreñido" (constipated) they work very well. Pure fresh "jugo de betabel" works pretty much the same way but it more or less reminds me of eating dirt.Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-48891635525123675242010-04-10T14:13:08.449-05:002010-04-10T14:13:08.449-05:00I too love beets, always have.
