Beets
Peak Season: June to October
Perfect Pick: Smooth, deep-red surface that's unyielding when pressed. Smaller roots are sweeter and more tender. Attached greens should be deep green and not withered.
Handle with Care: Remove the leaves (which are great sautéed in olive oil) and store in a plastic bag in the fridge for no more than 2 days. The beets will last in the crisper for up to 2 weeks.
The Payoff: Nitrate, which may help lower blood pressure.
