In a lot of European countries, especially France, their sugar does not come from cane (sugarcane), but from beetroot.

But I particularly love the yellow. Its a lot sweeter than the others... Mmm Beetroots!<br />I like it as a tomato substitute in winter for sandwiches. Just steamed and sliced up for a sandwich. Pan fried with balsamic vinegar and garlic is great because it candies with the sugar in the beetroot. And a good old salad with steamed beetroot, dressed with red onion, cumin, red wine vinegar, oil and parsley.

It was very addictive! :)celiahttp://www.figjamandlimecordial.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-71155089156569878592011-07-11T23:27:43.425+09:302011-07-11T23:27:43.425+09:30Love it!
