Hi, I love beets and think that beetroot are the best vegetables to eat do you feel any type of way about them?

I see, have you tried the sugar beet variety?
nah beets are not very common around here
OK well you don't have to worry about eating them then, but I still find them useful for sugar production.
thats pretty interesting, didnt think they could be that sweet.
Sugar beet
A sugar beet is a plant whose root contains a high concentration of sucrose and which is grown commercially for sugar production. In plant breeding it is known as the Altissima cultivar group of the common beet ("Beta vulgaris"). Together with other beet cultivars, such as beetroot and chard, it belongs to the subspecies "Beta vulgaris" subsp. "vulgaris." Its closest wild relative is the sea beet ("Beta vulgaris" subsp. "maritima").
In 2013, Russia
was once a common name for beet root cultivars for the garden. Examples include: Bastian's Blood Turnip, Dewing's Early Blood Turnip, Edmand Blood Turnip, and Will's Improved Blood Turnip.
The "earthy" taste of some beetroot cultivars comes from the presence of geosmin. Researchers have not yet answered whether beets produce geosmin themselves or whether it is produced by symbiotic soil microbes living in the plant. Breeding programs can produce cultivars with low geosmin levels yielding flavours more acceptable to consumers.
