Description


-----

WHOLE FOODS has these strange looking beets on display (and of course, for sale). On the outside, these vegetables look TERRIBLE. In fact one of the beets in this frame was SO UGLY that I couldn't leave it in the photo, and I replaced it (the one in the approximate middle on the far right--it has a dark top).
----
But look at the one that is cut in half...NATURE produces such things???

Never really looked very closely at beets - don't care for 'em - but I agree these are a bit odd. Cool capture, though! #11051191

Never seen anything like this. They might be ugly on the outside but beautiful on the inside. Terrific capture here Michelle. #11051838

Ugly, yes. Alien things. Do you suppose we've just lost our connection to the "real" look of crops and know only the shiny, cleaned up variety in the supermarkets? My, John, a cheese and beet sandwich??? really???? #11052085

Terrific capture, Michelle! I love beets! We have a traditional Polish soup made of them called red "barszcz". We have just had it few days ago with sort of ravioli filled with mushroom! :P #11052199

I love roasted beets! A fantastic capture, Michelle! #11052758

I have never seen a beet like this one, Michelle. Have you tried them? It's a fantastic shot of the unusual looking veggie! #11053528

Great shot..strange looking beets. Not sure about the beet and chees sandwich, but the soup sounds pretty darn good. :-) #11056025
