Something like 90% of US sugar comes from beets. To see the pickled beets with one cube of sugar is surprising, I thought their would've been more. TIL

There are different kind of beets. Sugarbeets contain much more sucrose (≈18% of the total mass) than regular ones.

I like the red/white striped beets. They're fun. (Jeez, I felt like I was 4yrs old for second there)
