  Artichoke. The name describes how it tries to kill you.

    That’s also pretty metal, true!

    Beets. Bears. Battlestar Galactica.

    I’m guessing either because it looks like blood, or because it contains actually a lot of metal in terms of minerals…?

    I really don’t know, if it contains the most amount of metal among veggies, though. Apparently, it does contain a noteworthy amount of manganese.
    And I just compared it to potatoes and green beans, and well, it seems to contain rather much iron and sodium, but magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium are fairly average.

    Beetroot
    Potato
    Green Beans

  Kale and other leafy greens are higher in iron than other plants, so I would think those are the most metal. 😌

    Roasted Kale chips with a bit of oil and salt is utterly delicious.

  I did think I was going to die when I used the toilet after the first time I ate beets.

  I just realized I’ve never eaten a beet on purpose that wasn’t pickled.

    They are surprisingly sweet. Too sweet, for my taste. They’re better than you might think - art least, I was expecting worse after growing up with aunts who put them in shit like jello, and all the times I was tricked thinking I was getting canned pureed cinnamon apple … whatever the hell that stuff is … and getting canned pureed beets. Had my first roasted one as an adult and thought, hell, this is pretty good.

    But, yeah, too sweet. Not sweet enough to be a dessert pretending to be a vegetable, like baked sweet potato with marshmallows, but too sweet to be a stand-alone vegetable.

    Chop one up, salt it, and roast it in the oven until it’s not hard anymore. They’re cheap, and you lose nothing but a buck and some time by trying it. You might discover a new passion!

    Stewed beets are delicious, and beet greens are quite tasty too. A nice addition to any garden.
