Beetroot is not commonly cultivated here in the Philippines, because I believe it cannot stand the harsh tropical sun. However, it grows in the more temperate regions in the country up north. So, from time to time, we get some beetroots in our local market, but it is very, very rare instances.

I think in my five-year stay here (after I gave birth), I only encountered beetroot once in our local market. So we grabbed it at once! It's a rare find! Hahaha! 😂 It cost higher than the common veggies we have here, but that's OK. We cannot eat our money. Hahaha! 😂🙄

Beets are great for salads. It does not only add such a stunning flavor to salads but enrich its visual punch as well! I love colorful salads. So whenever we have beets, we make sure to include it in our salad. It is normally a combination of greens--cucumber, lettuce, and all--and orange (carrots), purple (diced onions) and the magical beetroots, that escalates its appeal! 😍

I also mix beetroots to sandwich fillings. Sliced beets combined with onions and some pickles are a great addition to ham and cheese sandwich!!! Oh, just thinking of it makes me long for beetroots. Sadly, we don't see one in the market now.

But these are the things that we do whenever we have beetroots.
