Interesting facts about beets:
While beets are often thought of as roots like carrots and cassava, the storage organ is actually the stem, specifically the base of the plant.
Beets are rich in natural sugars. Under natural conditions, beets can last up to a week when stored in a cool, ventilated place. They’re also used as an alternative fuel source in Europe for ethanol production. Beets are recommended for anemia due to their high iron and folic acid content (Source: Wikipedia).
