We took your advice and gave them a light sautee in some olive oil. Delicious. The kids thought the tiny little beets were cute and gobbled them right up. Thanks!

And speak of seed banks - when I pulled the beet greens in the greenhouse late in the winter I disturbed that seed bank.  Seeds that didn't germinate last fall did germ this spring when I planted the onions and watered well.  I have so many beets growing in the onions that they're bringing in an unexpected $20 a week.   Your greens look great, btw.
