Red Beet

The roots of the red beet are boiled and sliced, and eaten cold, either alone or in salads; they are also much used as a pickle, and form a most beautiful garnish. Sometimes, after being dried in thin slices in an oven, they are employed in confectionery, and dried and ground they are occasionally turned to account as "a supplement to coffee." (See also BEETROOT.)
