Unlike red beets, golden beets don't bleed — no stained counters, no pink cutting boards, no red-tinted everything. Slice them fresh from the garden when they're almost golden-orange and toss them raw into salads: they're mild, sweet, and surprisingly un-earthy compared to most beets. Cook them, and they turn a beautiful buttercup yellow, retaining a silky smooth sweetness all the way through. Globe-shaped and mild even as they size up, golden beets stay pleasant and never get harsh or overly earthy with age. The tops are a bonus — tasty, green, and sweet to many palates.
