It’s gratifying to know that the US ranks numero uno in Beet Pulp exports. Beet Pulp (unlike beet roots or beet greens or beat me daddy, eight to the bar) is a much-maligned, little-understood commodity. It has that essential American quality that we all need to acknowledge and appreciate: it’s chock full of vitamins, but it’s hell on white button-down Oxfords. I had been worried about beet pulp. But no longer. Have you looked into lemon zest? celery paste? Go, USA!
