Are leafy green beet tops good to eat and if so how?

Answer 1

Beet tops can be eaten raw in a salad, or cooked as greens.

No Frills Cooked Beet Greens

Ingredients:

Beet Greens (cut off the heavy stems)
Butter
Salt
Pepper


Procedure:

• Wash beet greens in a sink filled with cold water.
• Remove to a colander and drain. No need to worry about draining thoroughly - you need the greens to be wet for cooking.
• Place beet greens in a large pot. Do not add additional water. The wet leaves will provide enough moisture.
• Cover and cook over medium heat until greens are wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not over-cook.
• Serve with butter, salt and pepper.

Answer 2

They are technically 'good to eat' -however many people find them kind of bitter, like kale, which is also 'good to eat'
