Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Dear Herbler: When you say " beets " , are you referring to red/purple beets (that taste like dirt to me, unfortunately!), or are you talking about sugar beets? The only reason I'm confused is because you are also referring to " beet sugar " , which is made from sugar beets. Take care- in Michigan (near the heart of sugar beet growing country!) Soy and Beets. > Dear Barry and All, > > Soy to the world, all you boys and girls, soy to the fishes in the deep blue sea and soy to you and me..... OK i'll stop now. Laughter...the best medicine of them all it doeth good. > > Soy beans are high in complete protein but they are plant and contain essential fatty acids, calcium, potassium and iron. New studies are showing a high content of vitamin B-12 too. Soybeans should always be cooked to be beneficial to the human organism. > > Beets and beet sugar. This was confusing wasn't it. I'll have to rewrite it. Beets are a nutrient dense food and when eaten provides many nutrients. As an added bonus they contain sugar which is not readily converted to body fat(why i do not know, several of my sources repeat this and i cannot find out why...yet). I am not advocating the use of pure beet sugar. I love beets anyway except beet soup. How is beet sugar different than cane sugar? I shall do some research and find out. > > Suggested reading: " Healing Foods " by Hausman and Judith Benn Hurley, " Food to Improve Your Health " by LInda Pelstring and JoAnn Hauck, a variety of juicing books and earl's vitamin bible already mentioned. > > Oh, btw. The questioning helps me tweek my class handouts so i am receiving something too. Thanks. > > Peace, Herbler. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Dear and All, Beets, red, purple or gold, round, tubular or eliptical...i love them all. Have you tried them pickled? Harvard? shredded on cole slaw? Nutrient dense beets, yummy. Beets of the common table variety have beet sugar or sucrose in them too. Sugar beets have more beet sugar in them though. MSU used to have sugar beet page but i can no longer access it. Go Spartans! Any who.....i suppose beets are just like any other veggie. Some carrots are more terpy than others...i prefer dungeness sweets myself and they juice up swell. Tell me about Third Coast Herbals, please? Off list if you prefer. Herbler.
