​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Roasted Beets with Citrus from Love & Lemons' 60 Fall Recipes and Dinner Ideas. Citrus juices infuse humble roasted beets with bright flavor. Enjoy them plain, or dress them up with toasted nuts, tender greens, and crumbled feta cheese. Find your beets and salad greens from Five Points Farm Market & Greenhouse, Scenic View Orchards and/or Bold Love Farm. 

Did you know? According to Self's  "10 Facts You Didn't Know about Beets" . . . 

• When harvested, the entirety of the plant is edible, from the tips of its leaves, down to its long pointed root. Sautéed beet greens anyone?
• In ancient times, the root part was not used for cooking but instead as a medicine for treating painful disorders at that time, like headaches and toothaches.
