Date: September 08, 2008 05:59AM Here's an article about Oxalic acid: [en.wikipedia.org] I found the sections tittled "Occurrence in nature" & "Physiological effects" to be especially interesting. Re: Beet Tops

Date: September 08, 2008 03:53PM Thanks everyone, this is great, I'm gonna juice them right now, and on the same note, how about carrot tops? Right now I give them to my neighbors chickens.
I just read the wiki article. I will start out with only one stalk. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/08/2008 04:04PM by meganbubbs. Re: Beet Tops

Date: September 09, 2008 07:52PM Yes. Carrot tops are perfectly edible. The taste....that's up to you! Folks miss out on a lot of great things that could make excellent salads, slaws & stuffing: Kale, Chard, Nappa Cabbage, various other cabbages, carrot greens, radish greens, bok choy, etc. Have fun!

Date: September 10, 2008 04:22AM I think beets are one one of the best foods for liver detox. Books Iv'e read say to start with only 3oz a day at first, then you can up the amount day by day because they are so powerfull. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
