Cut and diced style beets are perfect for use in many ethnic vegetable dishes to compliment a meat or fish entree. Beets are an excellent source of fiber and phosphorous. And, a half-cup serving of canned beets contains just 35 calories.
Beets were used in former days to dye Easter eggs for the Cajun Easter Egg Hunt. You know Cajuns love to hunt even at a very young age!
