Beets are Now in Season!

With spring officially here, we're now seeing the last vegetables that were put into the ground last fall/winter coming out to make an appearance!

This week's vegetable in the spotlight was thought to have been found in one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon! It has long been treasured for its bright red coloration. In fact,  for hundreds of years, this was used primarily as a dye and it wasn't until the early Roman periods that this was treated as an actual food item!
