If your kids are like most kids, getting them to eat vegetables isn’t quite as easy as getting them to eat candy. Can you imagine offering them vegetables as a reward for finishing their chore list for the week? Have they ever said, “Would you please, please, PLEASE let me bring vegetables to the class Halloween party?” Not the most likely scenario, right?
Kids begging for vegetables might not be as far-fetched an idea as it seems once you try “Beet Candy.” Beets naturally contain a high amount of sugar. Roasting concentrates those sugars and gives the beets a pleasant mouth-feel. Beets are high in potassium, dietary fiber, B-complex vitamins and a number of important minerals, so it’s a food you’ll be glad to hear your kids asking for time and time again.
