The mom tasted them and promptly asked, "What are beets made of? These are great!" She loved the idea that they had come to dinner in their natural form.

Also shredded carrots. Raw beets are sweet, much like carrots. If you have a food processor with a grating disk, try grating the beets raw and tossing them in salads.
