Tips when cooking: Beets are such a versatile root vegetable. They can be roasted, baked, pickled or juiced. The little purple flowers that I used as a garnish are Chive blossoms. I love them because they are tasty (the flavor is similar to that of an onion) and make for a beautiful presentation. Chive blossoms are in season right now and may be found at your local farmers market. You can always grow them yourself if you have a garden.Turmeric Sea Salt may not be easy to find but you can always buy Turmeric powder and Sea Salt separately.
