I take it the digestion check is using cooked beetroot.

No, apparently it has to be raw. I haven't tried it myself yet though!

I agree about roasting them - with a little olive oil, some garlic, rosemary. Yum
Also, peeled - I use rubber gloves! - and then grated raw for salads.
I LOVE beetroot and I'd be over the moon if I got a heap of it in my veg box!

Put ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil. Cool, then pour over cooked sliced beetroot. Ready to eat in 1 week. (if you can wait that long):D

I bought some today from the local market (home grown stall) it’s cooling right now!!!!

I microwave them till they're not quite soft, then slice them and fry them in butter with a bit of garlic till they have golden edges.

Yum yum pig's bum!

Beetroot soup IS gorgeous - and it looks so amazing when you serve it at the beginning of a dinner party with a dollop of soured cream in the middle. The colour of it is so intense - it definitely gets people talking!
Here's a yummy one :
