Mine aren't crazy about beets, but if I mix them with sweet potato, then, look out! You'd think they'd be good for coloring (they turn your urine red--just found that out after a trip to the farmer's market) and my aunt uses them to dye her kitchen lace curtains pink. NutritionData.com doesn't show them as having any zeaxanthin and only a small amount of beta carotene, but they don't report on tannin, so maybe that's the color agent??? I know beet tops contain high amounts of oxalic acid but otherwise they are very nutritious too.
