No, they don't taste like candy (I was just quoting the Nicktoon Doug), however they are a veggie that you shouldn't ignore. They are a great source of iron, perfect for any women during that time of the month. Aside from that hash fact, I love bright colored food, and golden beets are such a beautiful color. Just add them to any salad or roasted meals (they pair quite well with goat cheese as well). Below are instructions for basic cooking of beets in general. I added mine to my salad tonight, but you can just eat them plain too. Also, if purchased with leaves, you can sauté the greens for a healthy side to any meal. I will posted that recipe at another time:

keeps up to 5 days in the fridge
Ingredients
2 large Golden Beets, or 3-4 medium
1 quart water
1 tsp salt
Instructions
Ingredients
2 large Golden Beets, or 3-4 medium
1 quart water
1 tsp salt
Instructions
Bring water with salt to boil in a large saucepan or pot. While water heats up, rinse beets and remove tops, stems, and roots.
Once water boils, turn down to a simmer and add beets. Boil for 20-25 minutes, or until a fork easily punctures the flesh.
Once cooked, remove beets from water and rinse under cold water and use hand to remove skin (the skin should peel off easily, without effort).
Cut beets into wedges or circles. Store in container in fridge for up to five days. Eat plain or add to salads and ENJOY!
