Jennifer:
Is there any harm if drink abc juice daily?

I don't think so if drink in moderation. Have come across articles that if take too much fruit juices (not even referring to the artificially flavoured ones) can cause a spike in sugar level. Maybe add some greens/veg (cucumber, kale, celery) to balance out.

:drool: that looked sooo yummy!

Beetroot - I usually hv them in my salads. Either sliced or shredded, toss them into a bowl of greens, n drizzled over with vinaigrette.

Saw many fresh juice stalls selling ABC juice. It's a combi of apple, beetroot n carrot.
Thanks bebebub 😉 the girls enjoy the dish and that's good enough for me :rahrah:

ya, sometimes will order ABC juice too. Beets supposed to have health benefits

Had borscht soup last week using wagyu beef. CS was having a wagyu beef promo last weekend. This was cooked over small fire for 3hrs. Beef will melt in mouth after that.

I adapted from the recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/ukrainian-red-borscht-soup/ to suit my family's tastebuds.

Used beef instead of pork sausages and only 1 whole beetroot instead of the proposed 3.

What is its taste like?

Cook it as if cooking potatoes in soup?
A bit tangy sweet. I think like part of turnip family.

I sliced it thinly and lightly fry with the diced onions, chopped garlic, cinnamon stick when cooking borscht soup. Be careful when handling it as it might stain your clothes and chopping board. So wash/rinse chopping board after slicing the beets.

Oh, read online that if you take too much beets, your p**p might turn red too. Don't panic as you are not bleeding. It's just the beets.

Borscht soup is best eaten the next or 3rd day. Let the ingredients work its magic in the pot overnight. So, it's perfect for working moms like me. I like to cook this on Sunday, let it cool and store in fridge. It'll be yummy for Tues dinner.

Jennifer:
AB, how to handle beetroot?

As mentioned by AB and Starlight, can buy from CS and Fairprice Finest. Just make sure you don' buy turnip. Bought the wrong one once as they were placed next to each other (look similar when they are clingwrapped).

Peel the skin away as you would potatoes.

I don't use beets for juicing but to make Borscht Soup. You cook it like you would for beef stew and add 1 whole beetroot (thinly sliced) and maybe 1/2 cabbage (finely chopped). You can add sour cream to the borscht soup, but I like to substitute the sour cream for home made yoghurt for healthier dining options.

The beetroot gives the borscht soup a natural sweetness and makes for a hearty meal. And you know me lah, a perfect one dish meal. 😉 One of the family's fave.

It looks like a red onion. Can the leaf stalks be eaten too?

One of my NZ friends uses it in his sandwich.
Starlight,

So far ones I buy do not have the stalks.

Jen,


I cut away the skin, wash the vege and cut into pieces.

Then I juice it with the other fruit and veges.

Once done, I pour the juice into the strainer to strain out any fibre (personal choice).

I am using an old juicer by DeLonghi.


My next qn: where to buy the beetroot ?

😂

Jen,

I buy from either NTUC finest or wet market.

I think you should be able to get it easily in any supermarket.

Can try juicing yourself?

I juice it together with apple, cucumber and celery.
