Born and raised in Jamaica, having beetroot drink was quite normal for me. As a matter of fact, I loved it as a kid growing up. However, when I came to Sweden I realized that beetroot drink wasn’t so common. It was common though to have pickled beetroot along with meals. I found it a bit odd that I’ve never thought that if I could drink it, perhaps I could eat it also! Haha
Well well...
So I was making beet root juice today for my boyfriend and I, and thought of how the look and texture it reminds me of blood.. then guess what? It hit me that, oh! It’s Halloween season! Why not share the recipe with you guys who perhaps will be celebrating halloween?
Therefore, I’m happy to share this recipe with you!
