1 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to favor Protection of iHeart Radio. I'm 2 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Annie Reese and I'm Lauren Vogelbaum, and today we have 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: an episode for you about beats. Beats. Where did this 4 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: idea come from? I thought at first it might be 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: a Halloween Yeah, the vaguely Halloween relatable since we did 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: borished and um, I realized that we hadn't done beats yet. 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: I was like, well, we have to do beats. And 8 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: I kind of had it percolating in my brain and 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: then I was yeah, I was thinking about, um, the 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: last time that I bothered to peel a beat, which 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: I don't usually do because I don't mind the kind 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: of earthiness that you get from a from an unpeeled beat. Um, 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: and as long as you wash them good, it's all fine. Um. 14 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: But so the last time I peeled a beat, it 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: was a big beat, and I just wound up with 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: this large and it was I felt like, I felt like, 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, like like some kind of version of 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Lady McBee, Like I was sitting there with like these 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: like blood covered hands and like this bloody heart shaped thing, 20 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: and I was just like, yeah, yeah, that's true. I 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: can see that. I can envision it perfectly, Lauren. Yeah, yeah, 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: I also love that. I just called Lady McBeth Lady McBee. 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: I'm not even liked it too. I'm not even really 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm like theater adjacent anyway. It's it's fine. This is 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: not a theater I'm in. I'm in my house. Isn't 26 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: all of life, it's all stage. We are merely players. 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: It's true, it's true. I really appreciated it, but I 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: thought it was very funny, like you're on first name basis. Yeah, yeah, 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: um well I always think of the office less uh, 30 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: theatrical less murder. Yeah, well but yeah, Dwight shrewd tesz 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: a beat from Beats Bearstica. Um My, my dad really 32 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: really liked beats. I like them too, but yeah, that 33 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: that die. I've only like used them a couple of times. 34 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: It just gets everywhere. Yeah, I get some golden beats, dude, 35 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: Like they they're so I mean, like they're still very 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: brightly colored, but they will not die. Everything that bright red. 37 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: It's a lot more skin toned, so it's a lot 38 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: easier to deal with. I don't know why, but then 39 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, what if all my skin is just becomes 40 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: golden beet skin to ask, um, I feel like they 41 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't see them in the stores often, but I 42 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: will take another another look. Yeah, yeah, take a gander. 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: Um when my I do love a beat. Um. When 44 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: when my roommate and I grill out, we usually get 45 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of beets and uh and slice them up 46 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: kind of thin and grill them so that they're just 47 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: real real crispy and and uh and sweet and little 48 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: like beat chips. Almost so good, so good. Yeah that 49 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: sounds so good. Well, I will say beats tend to 50 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: have like their lovers and their haters. And my ex 51 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: boyfriend was a hater. He don spised beats like it 52 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: was one of those things like you can regularly depend 53 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: on someone to go on a brand if you bring something. Okay, 54 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: that much better? Okay. He despised him. And one time 55 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: we went to this fancy restaurant in l A that 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: was known for vegetarian dishes, and he excitedly went on 57 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: and on and on about how he wanted to order 58 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: the beef tar tar um, and I, being the terrible 59 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: person that I am, did not correct him because it 60 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: was in fact beat tuh huh, and it wasn't until 61 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: he ordered it and the waitress wrote it down. I 62 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: think she was like, maybe he misspoke or maybe I misheard, 63 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: and then she was about to walk away, and I 64 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no no, no, okay, wait, can't order this. 65 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: And I don't understand where we broke up. Well, you 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: didn't break up, like at the table right there, right, 67 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: So it was a silent ride home. It could have 68 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: been for any number of reasons. But goodness, um, well 69 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: yeah you stopped. You stopped it before the plate hit 70 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: the table. I feel like you deserved points for that. 71 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: And I wanted the beat O I knew he would 72 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: have been. That sounds that sounds delicious, like you can 73 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: smoke a beat and it's tasty, like get some I 74 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe some like goat cheese involved on the 75 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: plate or something. I bet it was delicious. I bet 76 00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: regrets should have like I hadn't no idea either, but 77 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: this is so tasty. Wow, I guess I will eat it. 78 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: Then I will say. I feel like we've talked about 79 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: this in several past episodes, this one researching it, the 80 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: punds just an ocean of I I don't think I 81 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: opened a single article that aside from the like really 82 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: academic journal ones that I read, but every other piece 83 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: that I read had like beat it or the beat 84 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: goes on in there somewhere drop. Oh yeah, Yeah, there 85 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: was one I came across that I thought was really 86 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: creative and I've forgotten it already. But I'm sure as 87 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, stewing on what the title of 88 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: the episode will be, maybe I will come up with 89 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: it myself. I hope, So, I hope. So I want 90 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: to hear it. Yes, we'll have to see. We'll have 91 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: to see. Um and yes, as Lauren said, you can 92 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: see are recent episode on Borish. I feel like we've 93 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: done a lot of things that are kind of related, 94 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: but that's probably the most directly related. Yeah, the two 95 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: episodes on sugar as well. Yes, but I guess this 96 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: brings us too hawk questions. Beats what are they? Well? 97 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Beats also sometimes called beat roots, are a sort of 98 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: sugar storage device for this type of flowering plant that 99 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: we've we've we've decided to just go on and eat 100 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: this as a vegetable sometimes, um M, yeah, sugar storage device. 101 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: It's very menacing, but that's what we've said. I watch 102 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: a lot of horror movies. Is there anything you don't 103 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: find menacing? Annie, Honestly, it's hard, like pretty much everything 104 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, But what if uh, you know, beats beats, Uh, 105 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're usually bulbous um kind of half stem, 106 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: half root sort of things, sometimes called tap roots um. 107 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: And they grow under ground and store up water and 108 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: sugars and nutrients that are meant to help a plant 109 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: grow one year and then survive a cold winter and 110 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: then regrow and flour and produce seeds the next year. Um. 111 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: But generally beats do not get a chance to do 112 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: that because we dig them up and eat them that 113 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: first year. Impatient, impatient. Oh, we don't want them for 114 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: the flowers, We want them for the delicious sugar storage devices. Um. 115 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: These uh, these tap roots come in a range of 116 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: brilliant colors, from yellow to gold to red to violet. Um. 117 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: The roots have rings inside them, like a tree, which 118 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: you can see if you slice them. Unlike trees, though, 119 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: each ring is alive and actively growing, with the capacity 120 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: to transmit both water and sugar through out the plant. 121 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Trees and other woody stems tend to only grow new 122 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: cells and carry sugars in their outer layers. Yeah. Um. 123 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: Researchers think that this makes beats really good at storing sugar, 124 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: like particularly good. Again, we're coming back to sugar, it's all, 125 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: it's all going to come around. The botanical name is 126 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: Beta vulgaris, and the bright colors the beats come in. Oh, 127 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: those colors. To this group of pigments that are named 128 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: for beats, they're called beta lanes. They're unique to this, 129 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: to this wide taxonomical order that beats are in, along 130 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: with stuff like rhubarb and flower and cactus. Other red 131 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: and purple pigments, say like in tomatoes or radishes, are 132 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: from this whole other group called um antho syn ins 133 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: and um. This is why beat juice is so like 134 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: pervasively colorful, because these pigments stay stable across a range 135 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: of pH levels, unlike antho syn ins. So um. So yeah, 136 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Like if you are trying to die frosting, Um, if 137 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: you added like a blueberry juice to the frosting, it 138 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: would just go gray. But if you add beat juice, 139 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: it will stay in nice pink. Yeah. How interesting? Yeah 140 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: yeah yeah um yeah if you if you, I mean, 141 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: it might make the frosting taste a little tiny bit 142 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: like beet, but you know, um, yeah, So the roots 143 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: can be um used in any number of ways. They 144 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: can be cooked, roasted or boiled or steamed or sauteed 145 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: or grilled a whole or sliced as a side dish, 146 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: alone or with other root vegetables, served hot or cold, 147 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: added to soups and stews. You can pickle a beat, 148 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: you can juice a beat. Um. I mean you can 149 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: just like eat them raw, maybe like grated into a 150 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: salad or or a slaw. Perhaps. Um. I've read that 151 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: in Australia and New Zealand, sliced beets are served as 152 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: like a sandwich topping. Huh, and I have I don't 153 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: think I've ever encountered that, and now I am so 154 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: now I want that. I want that right now. I 155 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: think I've only had the I can't remember, might have 156 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: been in one of those places, but I feel like 157 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: I've had that when you have avoca to oh huh 158 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: on a sandwich and sometimes they'll put beats on top. 159 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: But okay, who knows, let us listeners. Yeah yeah, yeah, 160 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: yeah for sure, um and yeah. The roots are sweet 161 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: and earthy and kind of mild and can have a 162 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: range of other sort of like side flavors from kind 163 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: of like clove like to a little bit um a 164 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: stringent read like puckery um raw their crunchy cooked. They 165 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: can get like buttery tender, so good. I don't think 166 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: I've ever had a cooked beat. I've just had like 167 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: in salads or yeah, like a roasted bead is so good. 168 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: I know, yeah, you convinced me right away, right off 169 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: the top. I want oh, okay, all right, um cool, 170 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to threaten to come to your house 171 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: with food again. But but like the next time we 172 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: have to get together, there's going to be some cooked 173 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: beats involved in everyone else and in our D and 174 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: D group is going to be very confused. Um, but 175 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: it's going to be great. It's going to be fantastic. Uh. 176 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: And yet beat beat roots do taste a little bit 177 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: like dirt, And it's because of the specific compound called geosman, 178 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: which actually means dirt smell um. And it's one of 179 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: the compounds that contributes to like like the lovely fresh, 180 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: earthy smell after a rain. Um. It is produced in 181 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: beats and also by a number of microorganisms that live 182 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: in dirt. Uh. Humans are pretty sensitive to it because 183 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: it can indicate um like microbial contamination in water, which 184 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: is a useful thing to be able to detect. Uh. 185 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: It Also, it also is one of the compounds um 186 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: that shows up in wine if you've got cork taint. 187 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess also useful to be able to 188 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: detect in what I guess? So yeah yeah um. And 189 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: if you dislike it, that's probably why you dislike beats, 190 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: like I've I've read. I've read that that's like a 191 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: leading like like a contributing factor to dislike of beats. Um. 192 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: But um, adding acid to a beat will will reduce 193 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: the the odor of us. So yeah, there you go. 194 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: There are options, There are options. Um. The greens are 195 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: also eaten when they're young. They're good for salads. They 196 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: taste kind of like spinach, which is um botanically related, 197 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: and when the leaves are more mature, they're usually cooked 198 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: as you would with any kind of slightly tougher green. 199 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: Shard is a variety of beat that is grown for 200 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: its leaves instead of its roots, which I did not 201 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: know until today either, and that confused me, and I 202 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: was like, do I have to go back and research 203 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: everything again? Because that might change all of this, all 204 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, I think that's I think that's a 205 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,479 Speaker 1: different episode. But it does explain why, um, why the ribs, 206 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: the central ribs of shard leaves come in the same 207 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: colors that beat roots do. Yes, yes, shard comes with 208 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: that warning label cooked with it once because I'm like, 209 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: oh no, oh, no, oh, dear. The roots of some 210 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: varieties of beats are grown specifically to produce sugar, to 211 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: like refine sugar out of um. And these are kind 212 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: of long white beats called sugar beets. Makes sense. They 213 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: look sort of like a like a carrot that Bnicula 214 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: just drained all of the life force out of. See 215 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: you didn't see listeners when I just gotta horrified. Look. 216 00:13:51,640 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: Oh no, the poor carrot. Oh whatever ever, that's it's fine, 217 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: it's fine. I don't care about carrots. Not. I don't 218 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: think the carrot cares. I more proof about your vampireism. 219 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: We heard you've got like a little notebook somewhere. You're 220 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: over here taken notes. You're like, she associates with Bunicula, 221 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: doesn't care about carrots. Yeah, to make sugar from sugar beet. Um. 222 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: Usually the beats are either juiced um, and then that's processed, 223 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: or that they might be pulped into dry flakes or 224 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: granules and then and then that will be transported and 225 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: processed to extract the sugar. Beats are also used as 226 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: animal feed um and uh. Beat extracts are used in 227 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: the production of everything from dies to cosmetics, to nutritional 228 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: supplements to biofuels. Lots of beat industry out there, industrious beat. 229 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: M Well what about the nutrition. Beats are pretty good 230 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: for you, lots of fiber, good spread of micronutrients. Um. 231 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: Beats will help fill you up, but to keep you going, 232 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: pair with a with some fat and some protein. When 233 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: you eat them raw including just like just like straight 234 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: beat juice. Um, they can aggravate sensitive guts so um. 235 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: So if that's an issue for you, then just cook 236 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: them cooking first. Yeah. Um uh. The rent to purple 237 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: ones can tint your urine and your stools. Um. And 238 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: apparently this is common in about fourteen percent of the 239 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: population here in the United States. Yes, there are studies 240 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: about it. Lauren, Laura, Lauren always finn talk about pooping. Look, 241 00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: there's uh it's part of the digestive system. Okay, I'm 242 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: not mad about it. I'm a pressed to be honest. Well, look, 243 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not the only person fascinated by this. Okay, 244 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: there there's actually a medical term for having beat colored 245 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: and poop and it is baccheria victoria. I I looked 246 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: for a pronunciation. Wow, the Internet really let us down. 247 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: It did, it did? Thanks for nothing, the Internet. Uh yeah, yeah, 248 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: however you pronounce it, it's nothing to be concerned about. Um. Uh, 249 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: it can be very startling, but yeah, it can sometimes 250 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: indicate an iron deficiency I've read. But but yeah, like 251 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: if I guess, if you eat like a lot of 252 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: beats and it happens like every time you do, then 253 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, like try to get into a maybe called 254 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: a doctor and maybe get some blood work done. See 255 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: see if iron deficiency is a thing. I'm trying to 256 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: envision a circumstance, right, A lot of beats and I 257 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I gotta go to the doctor, 258 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: which you should. It's just so outside of like sure possibility, 259 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: what the future holds for me? Um, you could go 260 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: on a very serious borsched kick. Okay, I could I 261 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: could anytime now. Um, all that all out aside beats 262 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: and their juice and their extracts are under investigation for 263 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: all kinds of potentially beneficial properties UM, including helping prevent 264 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: cardiovascular disease and cancer. UM. On kind of smaller levels, 265 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: they've they're they're the extracts of beats have been found 266 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: to have all kinds of potentially exciting properties antioxidant, um, 267 00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: anti diabetic. The list goes on um. But as always, 268 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: before consuming a medicinal amount of anything, consulted. Doctor who 269 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: is not us because bodies are complicated. Indeed, markof that 270 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: bingo guard. There you go, there you go. Oh, yes, 271 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: we are definitely not doctors and certainly not medical doctor. 272 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's not that's the furthest furthest type of 273 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: doctor away from any kind of doctorate that I could 274 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: possibly get. Right, I'm like, imagine doctor strange, but on 275 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: one level, one side of the spectrum, he was a doctor, 276 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: but on the other side he's just strange. I'm on 277 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: that strange. You're on the strange side. Yeah, so much 278 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: the medical doctor, hard hard same. I feel like that 279 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: explains everything, that clarifies it. We do have a few 280 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: numbers for you. We do, we do, yes, And actually 281 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: this first one kind of surprised me. Um. Around of 282 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: the world's sugar comes from beats. Some resources suggest that 283 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: sugar beats account for over of domestic U s sugar production, 284 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: about four point five million tons, and that in two 285 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: five the US was processing thirty million tons of beats. Yeah. Um. 286 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: As of twenty nineteen, UM two hundred and seventy five 287 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: million tons of sugar beets were being grown around the 288 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: world every year, and as of one the beat sugar 289 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: market was worth some four point three billion dollars a year, 290 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: and growing um expected to be worth half again as 291 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: much by wow. Yeah. Yeah. Sugarcane is a pain to 292 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: grow and it's a pain to harvest, and UM beats 293 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: are a lot easier, So yep, there you go. There 294 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: are a number of world records about beat roots. UM 295 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: Guinness lists the longest on record as coming from the 296 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: UK and measuring eight point five six meters long. I 297 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: didn't transfer that into feet, but multiplied by three, So yeah, 298 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: that's what like something like that. I've got the longest 299 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: beat yep, yep to get the record. The Guinness record 300 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: for the heaviest is also from the UK, but from UM. 301 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,239 Speaker 1: It weighed twenty three point nine nine five kilos. That 302 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: is sixties six point one three pounds um, which is 303 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot of beat. Uh I saw. I saw a 304 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: photograph of that one, and uh, the the farmer I 305 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: presume was was holding it and and and at first 306 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: I thought that it was a pot, that like a 307 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: large terra cotta pot that green, that the that the 308 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: beat was somehow contained within. And then I was like, oh, no, 309 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: that's just the beat, that's just it was like a 310 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: very large beach ball sized anyway. Wow, Yeah, I was impressed. 311 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: I was impress. Yeah, that's impressive. Um. However, some people 312 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: are shall we say, less than impressed with beats. And 313 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: in fact, like, when I think of beats, I've always 314 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: liked them, but I did my experience with other people 315 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: was that they were uncool and not very well liked, 316 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: right or wrong. But that was kind of what filtered 317 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: into my understanding of beats. Um. So yeah, that we 318 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: there're plenty of beat fans, um, but yes, a lot 319 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: of people hate them with a passion. Einstein allegedly detested them. 320 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: Michelle and Barack Obama aren't fans. I think I read 321 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: they refused to let them be planted in the White 322 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: House guarden. Dang, all right, I really didn't like them. 323 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: And that's kind of my general sense is people people 324 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: who don't like them really don't like them. Uh, But 325 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: I feel like in general history tells us they've been 326 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: generally well liked. Yeah. Yeah, And we are going to 327 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: get into that history. But first we're going to get 328 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: into a quick break for a word from our sponsor, 329 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: and we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Thank you. So historians 330 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: think beats were first eaten in the Mediterranean around two 331 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: thousand BC. Records indicate it was lauded for a variety 332 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: of reasons um the believed health and if that it had, 333 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: including nutrition, which I found interesting because from my understanding, 334 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: early perceptions of nutrition were interesting, shall we say, yes, yes, yes, um, 335 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: but also how long lasting they were and how they 336 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: were adaptable to a wide range of climates. Because of 337 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: its longevity, it spread far and wide. Ancient Greeks and 338 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: Romans enjoyed the leaves, while the roots were ground up 339 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: to use as a solve. UM. They were believed to 340 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: cure snake bites, UM, and a whole host of other 341 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: medicinal uses. Yeah. These early beats came in white and 342 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: like black, like purple black varieties UM. One or the other. 343 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: Never twain, she'll meet um and the the roots would 344 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: have been um smaller and tougher than the beats we 345 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: know today. But um, but by the like B C 346 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: E C E switchover, folks had developed those tap roots 347 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: into the like, plumper, tastier things that were more familiar 348 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: with or they were working towards it anyway. Yeah. Yeah, 349 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: but they were still very much interested in these medicinal uses, 350 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: including um plenty are Old Palpliny recommended roasting and eating 351 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: beats as a sort of garlic breath cure, which I 352 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: love that that was enough of a thing where they 353 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: were like, like, we gotta find something anything, Is it beats? Sure? 354 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Just yeah, let's let's call it that. Definitely try it. Um. 355 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: And of course, of course the leaves were thought to 356 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: be an aphrodisiact in Greek mythology, Aphrodite eight beats to 357 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: enhance her appearance. But that was one example. I found 358 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: like a ton of examples of instances of beats being 359 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: used in old stories or folklore as some kind of 360 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: romantic enhancer or aphrodisiac. Yeah. According to some sources, eating 361 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: from the same beat root may it lead to to love? Yeah, 362 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: how do you prove this? How do you disprove it 363 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: that's true? A piki use a pikious that one. Um yeah, 364 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: I had a few beat recipes um old old cookbook, 365 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: including pickled beets, and also a dish that called for 366 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: the cook too. And I quote or I mean, you know, 367 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: probably not directly, but in an English translation. Slice the 368 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: beats with leaks and crush coriander and cuman, add raisin, wine, 369 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: boil all down to perfection. Bind it serve the beats 370 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: separate from the broth with oil and vinegar, which sounds 371 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: so good. I know. I love these old time recipes too. 372 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, perfection perfection. How long is perfection? I don't 373 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: know it's perfection. You don't know what perfection means? Yeah, 374 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: and you are not worthy of this recipe. It's possible 375 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: the name beat came from the Greek letter beta, because 376 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: beats resembled the Greek letter or maybe or maybe not 377 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: the beats themselves, but not like the roots, but rather 378 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: they're um, they're they're seed pods or seed balls. Um. Yeah, 379 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: there's there's a bunch of different terms around the world 380 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: for for beats. It's not as clear of a lineage 381 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: to like a single like proto Indo European root as 382 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the vege that we talked about on 383 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: here um. And there's a lot of interesting like like 384 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: metaphors about what people thought the plant looked like. Um. 385 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: Apparently the Greek word or like a Greek word um 386 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: stemmed from uh squid from like cephalopods. Because because it 387 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: was it was found in your the water, it was 388 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: it was it was called a sea beat and uh 389 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: and yeah, so I don't know, yeah, look a little 390 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: bit like a squid. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, when I 391 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: read that, I was like, I gotta look up what 392 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: the Greek letter vada looks like that just about seeing 393 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: it um. Somewhere between then the way back and the 394 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: sixteenth century, the red beat evolved. Um. Those always the 395 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: records getting muddled in terms of who was calling what 396 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: crop what this is also when I got very distracted 397 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: about and confused about shard. Yes, some historians think red 398 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: and white beats were developed in Italy and the third 399 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: century CE, which is a theory in part based on 400 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: the names Roman beat are Roman beat that appeared after that. 401 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: UM red beats may have appeared in China, perhaps from 402 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: a separate domestication event as early as the seventh century CEE. 403 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: The first record or known record of a red beat 404 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: in Europe appeared in two or around there, or when 405 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: Lee and hart Fuchs wrote that it was quote cultivated 406 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: almost everywhere in Germany. It popped up in England's written 407 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: record for the first time in the seventeenth century. That 408 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: same century, four varieties of beats were listed. John Gerard's 409 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: herbal recommended boiling the leaves and serving with oil, vinegar, 410 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: and pepper, and instructed vaguely, in my opinion, the curious 411 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: and cunning cook who will make many and diverse dishes, 412 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: both fair and goods. Yeah. He was basically like, be adventurous. Yeah, 413 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: something will happen, will be good, do what you want 414 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: with them. Yeah. Um. Around this time, and I was 415 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: telling Annie, I like really went down a rabbit hole 416 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: about beat iconography through through the ages. Um, I found 417 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: a really interesting paper about it anyway. Um. So so 418 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: around this time, like the fifteen the to the six hundreds, UM, 419 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: both like carrot shaped, like cone shaped beats and more 420 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: rounded beats started appearing in artwork. Um. But the cone 421 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: shapes were gradually replaced with spears moving up into the 422 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: modern day of artistic beat depictions. What a job you said. 423 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: That was such a straight face too. I really appreciated it. 424 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 1: Our modern day beat depictions. They are pretty, they are 425 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: they're lovely. Yeah, there's like a lot of still lives. 426 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: I guess that incorporate beats. Um. Yeah, And I think 427 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: I think that what was going on here um botanically anyway, 428 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: was that the the the conical kind of carrot shaped 429 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: beats were being specialized um for sugar beat production over 430 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: the next few centuries. UM and the spherical beats were 431 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: more the development of the table beat, the kind of 432 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: beat that you would find in kitchens and therefore have 433 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: showing up in artwork, you know. The it's always a 434 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: blessing when we can find these things. Beast together the 435 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: history right, and look at lovely arts. Boat. In the 436 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: eighteenth century, the King of Prussia set out to determine 437 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: the sweetest beat of them all. I like to imagine 438 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: this was a big, like public ceremony. Probably wasn't. Twenty 439 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: three varieties, eventually landing on the Silesian beat, the ancestor 440 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: of our modern sugar beat, and went on to subsidize 441 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: the beat industry. Yeah, and this picked off this long 442 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: varietal development process us that right, brought us to the 443 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: modern sugar beet. Um. The variety uh that I think 444 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: he was messing around with was originally made up of 445 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: about six percent sugar, and as of today, farmers and 446 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: researchers have brought it to nearly so wow. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 447 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: And as we've been alluding to this the whole time, 448 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: this kind of relation to sugar um and yeah, it 449 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: was really kicking off around this time. During the Napoleonic Wars, 450 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: the British kept sugar cane from entering into France. And 451 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: I feel like we've discussed this in several episodes and 452 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: all that came out of it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because 453 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: people were so hungry for sugar and and the sugar 454 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: cane was being so tightly controlled by the British. Yes, um. 455 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: So one of the responses the French had was turning 456 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: to a bunch of different sources for that sweetness factor, 457 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: including beats sweet beats. From to eighteen fifteen, the French 458 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: dedicated seventy nine thousand acres to sugar beat production and 459 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: three hundred small factories were built. Wild I know, they 460 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: really went all in, and they weren't the only ones. Um. 461 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: Colonial Americans depended on beats to get through winter months, 462 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: though in the early days they preferred things like radishes, carrots, turnips, 463 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: and parsnips um, but that did soon change. Beats caught 464 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: the interest of farmers, consumers, and scientists for a variety 465 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: of reasons. During the nineteenth century, beats were useful again, 466 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: not only because they could be grown in colder weather, 467 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: but because they lasted so long. The greens were prized 468 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: for salads, and people sometimes turned the beats themselves into borsch, 469 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: which we talked about in our recent Borsche episode. North 470 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: America really leaned into sugar beats and the eighteen thirties. UM. 471 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: I got confused by this because I read like conflicting 472 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: accounts of who really loved beats and who didn't. But 473 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: it seems it seems at this time North America really 474 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: did um. In his work, the American gardener William Cobitt wrote, 475 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: this vegetable, which is little used in England, is here 476 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: in as common use as carrots are there. Huh. This 477 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: was a time when sugar and other sweeteners could still 478 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: be prohibitively expensive, and consumers and food processors were looking 479 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: for cheaper, more available alternatives. Five per cent of the 480 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: world's sugar cane from sugar beets in eighteen forty. That 481 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: number jumped up to by eighteen eighty. A part of 482 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: this was due to a push by abolitionists to promote 483 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: a sweetener that didn't rely on exploitation and enslaved labor, 484 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: though they experienced a lot of pushback and never quite 485 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: achieved what they wanted before the Civil War. Over this time, 486 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: there were several failed tempts at commercial sugar beat factories 487 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: in the US, but the first successful operations started up 488 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: in California in eighteen seventy. Cattle farmers meanwhile, saw it 489 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: after the white cattle beat from Germany to feed their 490 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: livestock during the winter. Scientist like Justice lie Big chemically 491 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: analyzed beats in the eighteen forties, and sugar extraction itself 492 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: from beats was first documented in seventeen forty seven by 493 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: a German chemist name Andreas mar Graf or I think 494 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: that's his name, because his first name especially was printed 495 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: a lot of different ways in a lot of different places. 496 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: That's always exciting, Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. His process was 497 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: improved upon by his Minute in seventeen. At the time, 498 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: beats were categorized by color or root shape, so much 499 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: attention was given to the latter. At one point during 500 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: the nineteenth century, debates broke out about the best manure 501 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: to use when growing beats and like the flavor in 502 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: part huhm. Also, women may have used beat juice to 503 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 1: rouge their cheeks and perhaps even dye their hair, which 504 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: I found interesting because this showed up in a government 505 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: like PDF that I found, But it was sort of 506 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: like one of those fun get interested in beats, yeah, government, 507 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, yeah, I I also, I 508 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: also did I saw that fact reported, but I didn't like, 509 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: I didn't see a very specific source for it. So 510 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: who knows. It's possible. It's definitely possible. Like I said, 511 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: rule Sta beats were a big victory garden crop during 512 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 1: World War two, rationing in America and Americans got really 513 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: creative with beats, um boiling, roasting, grilling, eating them raw, 514 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: and using up the leaves to saltang leaves. During this war, 515 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: some Mexican labors were forced into working at sugar beet farms, 516 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: and beat sugar may have also been used in explosives. 517 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: Sugar was apparently and sometimes beat sugar huh indeed uh. 518 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: And then US beat farmers started coming together to form 519 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: co ops in the nineteen seventies and then when was 520 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: that early two thousand's Dwight Shoots beat farm of the 521 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: office and there we are and there today. Thanks Dwight 522 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: Shroot just just bringing us into the into the home stretch. 523 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: M h. I did look up many Beat quotes from 524 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: him for this. I did not include any of them, 525 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: but I looked them up. Yeah, yeah, I do think 526 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: that that probably it probably does, uh root. Sorry, um. 527 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: Back to this whole World War two Victory garden thing, 528 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 1: like like so many other vegetables that were really big 529 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: in Victory gardens, they probably got a little bit of 530 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: a reputation afterwards as being sort of old fashioned or 531 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: like for poor people, or like a sustenance kind of 532 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: thing that you wouldn't want to choose to eat, dogy 533 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: maybe yeah, yeah, I agree. And then you just have 534 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: to wait long enough and then people are like, k, 535 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: this is the best thing I've ever had. Yeah. Well 536 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: that's what we have to say on beats for now. 537 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: It is. We do have some listener mail for you, 538 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: though we do. But first we have one more quick 539 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: break for word from our sponsor. We're back, Thank you, sponsor, Yes, 540 00:37:53,120 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: thank you. We're back with the bet Oh goodness, I'm 541 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: not good at Dove step for any of that, like 542 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: be boxing in my mouth, So that's what you get 543 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry. Oh well, um, I you know one 544 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: day will get a budget to really add sound effects. 545 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: Oh man, that would be yeah. We should. We should 546 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: get like get like Noel Brown to come guests or 547 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: something and make all right, I mean the heck like 548 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: like most of our like Andrew and Dylan both do music. Yeah, 549 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: we've got some request for that. I think. Wouldn't it 550 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: be hilarious though if we were like we went up 551 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: to our boss and he's like, you've got to explain 552 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: this budget to me, Hawaii trip. Why is it all 553 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: sound effects for listener, Maile? Why not? It's important to 554 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: our brand. We're in an audio medium. This is what 555 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: it is. You can never have the same one, always 556 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: have to have a different one. And then he'd kick 557 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: us out, tell us no more money for matle jingles. Alright, 558 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: alas um Devin wrote, first, I am so excited about 559 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: the Bob's Burgers episode because I love that show. My 560 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: now husband and I moved out of state a few 561 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: years ago when I started grad school, and because of that, 562 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: we have missed out on all the family get togethers 563 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: that usually happened for every holiday. To make up for that, 564 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: we started our own new tradition. We've watched all of 565 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: the Bob's Burgers episodes associated with that holiday. This is 566 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: a super fun thing to do, especially since they are 567 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: episodes for just about every big holiday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, 568 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, et cetera. Now that I know about the cookbook, 569 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: maybe we'll add in a themed burger to our tradition 570 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: as well. Set get Lee, I wanted to write about 571 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: the Rosemary episode. Like I mentioned, I am in graduate 572 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: school and I'm working on a PhD in analytical chemistry. 573 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 1: My research focuses on how certain types of hydrocarbons called 574 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 1: biogenic volatile organic compounds can influence aerosol growth and cloud formation. 575 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: The main hydrocarbon I work with is called alpha pinene, 576 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: and it smells exactly like pine essential oils. This has 577 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: ruined rosemary for me. Now, whenever I get a whiff 578 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: of or bite of something with rosemary. That smell is 579 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: like hardwired in my brain to think chemical. I guess 580 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm glad I learned this now because for my next project, 581 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: I was considering using lamanine um, but I love citrus 582 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: fruits too much to even go there. I think I'll 583 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: play it safe and go as something else. Oh wow, 584 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: that's fascinating, it is. I mean, that totally makes sense, 585 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: especially if it's something you're working with and you just 586 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: get this like so creation with it. That can be 587 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: very very powerful with smells for me to oh of course, yeah. Yeah. 588 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: And you know once here, once your brain is trained 589 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: to think that something smells like poison, that is a 590 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: very very specific type of smell. That's I I've gotten 591 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: it's it's yeah, it's It's why you frequently can't smell 592 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,720 Speaker 1: like a type of alcohol that's made you sick before, 593 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: something like that without feeling queasy about it later. It's 594 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: a very clever thing that our brains do, actually it is, 595 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: but not useful all the time. Right um. But also 596 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: that sounds like a lovely Bob's Burger's tradition. Yes, I 597 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: hope that you do add in the themed burger. I 598 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: think that would be great. Not to tell you how 599 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: to do your holiday celebrations, but I bet that would 600 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: be a nice little oh yeah, yeah, Victoria wrote last 601 00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: week was the downsized, damn rascotta Pumpkin Feast. They didn't 602 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: write that with a question mark, but I I looked 603 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: up the pronunciation. That's as close as I feel like 604 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to get. I'm so sorry. Um uh. Anyway, 605 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: the Pumpkin Fest um a celebration of giant pumpkins. This year, 606 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,240 Speaker 1: someone grew a pumpkin that was over two thousand pounds. 607 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: It usually includes a giant pumpkin regatta, pumpkin catapults, and 608 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: a parade, among other events, but because of COVID, we 609 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: just had the pumpkin decorating and display. Anyway, before the 610 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: Pumpkin Fest announced they were scaling back, my aunt, who 611 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: very much wanted to see the festival, already bought her 612 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: plane tickets. To fill in the pumpkiny goodness, I declared 613 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: I would make a feast instead of a pumpkin Fest. 614 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: There would be a pumpkin feast. While in the many 615 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: planning stages, my mom figured out why she had been 616 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: feeling off for the past couple of years is that 617 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: she's become gluten intolerant slash sensitive after she had her 618 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: gallbladder removed, so I endeavored to make the feast gluten free, 619 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: testing out various alternative flowers and pizza does. The end 620 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: result was a huge success. I only managed to take 621 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: pictures of the desserts because I was too busy making 622 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,919 Speaker 1: the food earlier, except the donuts plus the butter because 623 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,280 Speaker 1: that was made to day in advance. There was pumpkin 624 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: bread with homemade butter, fried pumpkin crisps, the potato chips, 625 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: but pumpkin pumpkin pizza, pumpkin pie, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin cake, 626 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: and pumpkin ice cream all gluten free. So here is 627 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 1: a suggestion for a future episode. Plus something I'm interested 628 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: in knowing what is xanthem gum and how slash wise 629 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: it used in so many gluten free recipes. Yeah, I 630 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: like I like a challenge. I feel like this is 631 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: a challenge I like to I like I we're both 632 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 1: kind of like sitting up a bit straighter.

And that pumpkin 637 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: fest like when whenever, right, whenever it's back. Oh, we've 638 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: got to go.
