A Quokka Dreeds its Weird

In general I find golden beets less strong-tasting and less pithy than red, although I have to add that I don't pay much attention to beet varieties and there are probably strains of red beets that have the same qualities as the golden. Golden (and chioggia, if you see them try them) beets dominate a salad less and the more nuanced flavor makes me think they might be less suitable than red beets for traditional borscht. Although a golden beet borscht, cold, would be a lovely summer soup.
