sugar beets taste like regular beets, note the name beta vulgar., have
you ever given thought to making birch sugar? you treat birch sap like
maple sap and condense ethe bejesus out of it. You can also dry honey
out and powder it.
I think the perid form of beet is the mangel-worzel, it is this big ugly
football like thing that is also known as a feed beet. I haave also seen
seeds for yellow beets in the gurney's catalogue[i think it was that
one, but it was a few years ago.]
