Author Notes

You already know that beets are a power-house of nutrients. But while most people use the magenta root, the greens end up in the trash. What a waste! Sauté this dish in minutes to take advantage of the protein, Folate, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus and Zinc, Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper and Manganese! And you were about to throw that all away… —Anne

This sounds intriguing, yet I don't see the dates in the ingredient list. How many dates and how prepped?
