Beets

No you do not need to pre soak your green bean seed, it will grow just fine put right into the ground.

Pressure canning is the only safe method for home canning vegetables. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium that causes botulism food poisoning in low-acid foods, such as vegetables. The bacterial spores are destroyed only when the vegetables are processed in a pressure canner at 240 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for the correct amount of time. Clostridium botulinum is the bacterium commonly found in vegetables and meats. It is harmless until it finds itself in a moist, low-acid, oxygen-free environment or a partial vacuum. Under these conditions, the bacterium can grow and produce toxins dangerous to people and animals.

Do not process (low acid) vegetables using the boiling water bath because the botulinum bacteria can survive that method.

Yes, beets can turn your pee pink. Apparently it is a sign of iron deficiency

The tap root was not known until the 2nd or 3rd Century AD. It was grown from 2000 BC for its leaves and then by the Greeks and Romans as 'Chard' or as Spinach. It was later used (in Italy) as a vegetable, roasted whole. In England it was used as cattle fodder during the 18th Century. During the Napoleonic Wars France was deprived of sugar by the English Fleet and Napoleon encouraged research into Sugar Beet. By the 1850's sugar from beet had become well established over Europe

if you make a baking soda solution(by mixing water with it), and using a cotton bud(which is dipped from the solution), you will have to write a message or text on a sheet of paper and then wait till it dries. Now take a slice of beetroot and rub it over the paper smoothly. The result is that the message will appear white after some 12 hours unlike how it was when you first rubed the slice over it. This can be considered as the reaction of baking soda solution with beetroot. Concerning the reaction between beetroot and plain baking soda, there is no reaction to happen.

Beetroot is a very interesting plant that can be lathered with sun or can be in freezing conditions in winter. I other words this plant is very strong and can be planted almost anywhere. but the best conditions for a beetroot to grow in is healthy soil, little shade, warm, and watered most days. :)

Add 1/4 cup grated red cabbage or beetroot to 2 cups water and boil for around 10 minutes or until the water turns purple. You could also chop up the vegetables with the water in a food blender. Strain the liquid and remove the vegetables (you can eat these now if you're a bit weird and want to).

No, they aren't the same thing. Beetroot is a root vegetable. The vegetable grows below the ground, while the edible greens are grown on top. Red cabbage is a variety of cabbage that grows on top of the soil in individual heads.

Yes, they are both in the Brassicaceae family (and in the Brassica genus too). A swede is another name for the rutabaga.

beet root is to be chopped into small pieces. fry it in one teespoon of oil with chopped potatos. add salt and some spices. now this can be had with anything. even a sandwich can be made using this. beetroot also gives a good combination with rice.

how much beet juice should i drink daily for iron

Yes, beet is a noun; a singular, common, concrete noun, a word for a vegetable, a thing.

No, chickens can safely be fed beet leaves, as well as the roots.

Beets are a hardy root crop and can be grown just about anywhere with a long enough growing season, as far north as much of Canada and throughout most of Europe. They can survive light frost although the tops will die and the beet will stop growing. They cannot survive being frozen.

It would be the opposite. Beets have vitamin K which helps thicken the blood. However one source here on the internet said beets don't have enough to make any effect on the blood/warfarin...however, beet GREENS have a lot more vitamin K and will throw off the effect of blood thinners.

If you're going to have surgery, eat vitamin K things. Or they will give it to you in an inter venous.

I am not a doctor. Just reporting what I've observed via my father's treatments.

The group that the beetroot vegetable belongs too is the root vegetable.

I'm very allergic to beets. When I was a child and my mother served beets, I could feel my throat contract when I swallowed them. Then I would get a stomach ache and other digestive disturbances. In adulthood, I tried eating beet tops and became very ill--stomach pains and vomiting. Never again. If you are allergic to beets, read labels. They are used in some health foods as a natural coloring agent. Some yogurts and drinks contain beet juice to give them an attractive pink color.

My reaction is tingling on my tongue, burning chest, some tightness in the chest. I took 2 benedryl for some relief until it passes! It took several times for me to realize I cannot juice and drink beets. The feeling is horrible. The reaction, unfortunately lasts for several hours. I also read in the Juiceman book, that drinking too much beet juice can cause temporary paralisis of the vocal cords. Odd, scary actually.

Another answer.... My mouth burns, and I get small blisters on my tongue. My throat gets sore, and my intestines feel like I chewed and swallowed broken glass. These symptoms heal in a few days. Also, I never eat anything with just "sugar" listed as an ingredient, because it may be beet sugar. Beets are also used in many whole food vitamins, and small beet greens often lurk in many prewashed salads that contain a large variety of greens - look for red veined leaves. I was told once this was contact dermatitis, and maybe not a true allergy.

Boiling tends to remove some of the blueish-red coloring so that boiled beets appear pale compared to raw beets. However, the color (betanin, not anthocyanin as once thought) is sensitive to pH and can go a yellow-brownish color in alakaline water, or more reddish in acidic water. Adding a little vinegar to the water will maintain the red color. Boiling for an extended time will turn the beets brown.

They are the same, in most cases. Red beet is the common name for beet root sold as food. Beet root is more generic, and can refer to other members of the beetroot family, such as sugar beets.

You're lucky a Kobe-Hater didn't get to this one before me.

(But let me say this- I like Kobe and Lebron Equally- that's right, I said it. I think they both have an equal chance of becoming the greatest basketball player ever.)

It comes down to these two.

Every other NBA superstar is only regarded as "the best" by their hometown, by "frontrunners", by complete posers or complete fools. That includes KG, Carmelo, D-wade and others. sizzle.

As for Kobe, he's still pretty young and if he makes a championship run within the next few years, maybe some more incredible scoring performances and playoff buzzer beaters, he could be easily considered on MJ's calibre.

As for Lebron, he's still really young and needs a sidekick on the cavs. We'll have to see how LBJ plays out. sigh. i wish they didn't always triple team him-just doesn't seem fair. oh well, I'll get over myself.

To summarize my answer: yes, Kobe can make himself the next MJ-- (and so can lebron)

Kobe all the way but LeBron has a chance too but maybe after KB retires

no

Me no no...
