I came across huge beets at Crazy Pantry over the weekend.
2 beets were 140 yen (plus tax)...what a bargain!
According to the label, this was variety was called "Detroit Dark Red".
I roasted them and we had some for Sunday dinner.
Bummer that they don't sell the greens with the beets, but I am happy that I came across these.
That is a bargain! I was looking at beets in the store yesterday and they were over 400 yen each up here in Yamagata-ken!
ReplyDeleteWow that is pricey Helen! I hope you can find some that are cheaper (maybe when the weather gets warmer?!) :)

I never see fresh beets at the supermarket, only roasted or precooked/vacuum-packed with a use-by date. they're pretty inexpensive though at 500 grams for around 89 cents.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are huge Kat!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I never looked so I don't know . . . do we have beets like that here?
ReplyDeleteI've seen the pre-packaged types at our markets Rowena and they are super expensive! Hope you come across fresh beets in your area!
