I tried plain beets for the first time last week. I'd made beet chocolate cake before - something I highly recommend - but I'd never straight up swallowed a beet, unadorned and on its own. I have to admit, these beets might not have been the best advertisement for their kind. The texture was kind of mushy - it was not a very pleasant eating experience. For me, the way food feels in my mouth is sometimes just as important as the flavor.
However, I love their color and their dyeing potential:
