I just use the leaves. Boil them like spinach,drain salt and butter, mighty fine.

My grandmother used to fix them that way. I sure do miss her cooking. She used to do dandelion greens also. She was from iowa, but i think she was full of southern blood.

Yep. Good eats!

If ya plant your own, try planting em a little heavy, then go back and thin them out just when the roots start to get about the size of marbles and cook em with the baby beets still attached.
