beet greens
Edible crimson leaves
Beet greens are the leafy tops of beet plants, eaten as a vegetable.
They have a slightly bitter, earthy flavor similar to chard or spinach and can be sautéed, steamed, or added to salads.
Often discarded by those who buy beets only for the root, the greens are nutritious and entirely edible: Don't throw away the beet greens—they're the best part.
