I have some of these growing among my beetroot, as the seed
came in the same packet I think they might be the same
family.
Can anyone please identify them and let me know how to
prepare
them for the table??

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a throwback, lucky you! Have you tried eating
it as a beet or carrot or other root vegetable? Are the
leaves tasty, like cabbage? Could be a mangel-wurzl.
Anyway, let it sprout, keep the seed and sprout it as a
sprouting seed, like mung beans, in a bean sprouter. And eat
as bean sprouts, which cost a lot from the supermarket.


Or buy some mung beans and sprout them: that way you get real bean
sprouts and not beet sprouts. Sorry if this is too simple-minded for
you.

Can I have some of what you're drinking? (I don't smoke any more.)
