Each month, our Great Performances menus feature seasonal ingredients. It’s our way of celebrating the earth and bringing our special touch to every menu.

Beets are rich in phytochemicals. Phytochemicals, biologically active compounds in plant foods, give plants their colors and flavors. Betanin is the phytochemical in red beets that gives them their bright red color. Betanin, like other phytochemicals, may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Try new beet varieties. Red beets are the most common variety found in stores, but these root vegetables come in a range of colors including purple, pink, golden, white and striped. The different colors of beets indicate an array of phytochemicals.
