The properties of eggs and the beet plant compliment each other and reduce the flare up from a gallbladder attack if I had eaten eggs alone. Eggs have properties that irritate the gallbladder and should be avoided if one suffers from gallbladder and pancrease issues.My Breakfast This Morning
My Daughter likes gadgets and I must admit this little egg steamer is convenient. I usually soft boil my eggs, from what I've gleaned reading nutritional journals, this is the best way to consume an egg, because cooked egg whites are easier to digest than when raw and the egg retains most of its nutritional value if cooked at low heat for a short amount of time.
To soft boil and egg, add eggs to water deep enough to cover the egg. Bring pan to almost boiling. Turn off heat, cover pan with a lid, let sit for 5 minutes for small eggs, 7 minutes for large eggs. Serve immediately or cover in ice to quickly cool for later use.
I eat beets, top and bottom, raw in salads, pickled, steamed, baked, or boiled. I felt like boiling my beetroot and greens this morning. I added just enough water to cook without burning off the water. I first boiled the root for a couple of minutes with 1/4 of Braggs unfiltered organic apple vinegar and a bit of salt to inhance flavor. I added the greens when the beetroot was tender, I added the beet tops and boiled until tender.
This is a simple meal with high nutritional value and also very inexpensive. I hope you enjoyed my little foodie adventure.
great post, I love the detail. What else do you grow?
We had a hard two weeks of rain which washed away a lot of my seeds and seedlings, I've got some hardy kale, collards, chard, carrots, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers, Catnip, mint, broccoli, basil, tomatoes, beets, and peppers. I would of had a lot more though...😏
have you ever had beets and feta as burgers? - we made them once. absolutely amazing! :)
Yes I've had beetroot burgers with feta, super-yummylicious!
Nice, im hungry now. In our family sometimes we get dandelion leaves from unhabited and clean areas and we make salad from it with eggs.
I've made dandelion wine, bitter medicine but I like bitter food. I like young dandelions in my salad too, but I don't eat them in the wild too often because of deer poo, which carry all sorts of parasites, deer in our area of Oregon are thicker than fleas on a mangy dog. I grew them in my fenced off garden ;-)
yes i understand, thats why we take only from areas without animals, often from high hills or mountain areas.
I worm our family twice a year anyway using black walnut, wormwood, and pumpkin seeds. Better safe than sorry ;-) Being a farm girl and all, I know how easy it is to pick up parasites.
Looks very delicious.
Yes the meal was yummy and I still feel wide awake. If I eat heavy foods, fast foods, sweet foods, I want to take a nap immediately.
Woooow you have the grocery store outside of your house simply amazing.
That's the plan @dim753!
Yes because today we can find GMO food almost everywhere
I came down with fibromyligia back in the early 90s around the time GMO's came on the market. Glyphosate the most commonly used herbicide used on GMO food crops including our grain crops has been patented as an antibiotic. The herbicide destroys our guts flora and fauna as well as our soils microbiome.

It looks good, but I like to eat eggs in fried.
Frying eggs reduces some of their nutritional values, the high heat destroys protein enzymes and b12...but i love fried, scrambled, and poached eggs too, love egg omelettes too...omelettes uses the egg as a wrap filled with your favorite foods like cheese, meats, and veggies.
I agree, I've eaten omelets with meat, it tastes great. Good luck in your post, i want to rest a bit. By ... by ...
Rest well my friend Zzzzzzz
All Good! So healthy @reddust Super Food ~ especially beneficial for health and well-being...
This meal is also an anti-depressant for me, I feel much lighter and alert. But this combo may not be a good idea for others because of health issues.

I add minerals to my first and healthy compost to make sure my veggies are full of the nutrition tgat I need, because of factory farming our dirt is lacking the mineral content plants and humans need.
Looks yummy!
