Want a truly weird fact? You can cook a beet in the microwave. Poke holes, wrap in a damp paper towel, and nuke for 5-8 minutes.
The skin will practically fall off on its own. It’s the laziest cooking method in existence.
Your microwave will look like a crime scene. But the beet will be perfect.

Not all beets are created equal. Golden beets are less messy. They don’t stain everything they touch.
Their skin is also thinner and more tender. You might not even notice it’s there.
If you’re scared of the red stain, start with golden beets. They’re the introvert of the beet world.
