I’m from America and I’m so obsessed with this Aussie vegetable I eat it for every meal – and also squeeze its juice into my morning coffee

An American traveler is “so obsessed” with an Australian food product that she can’t stop eating it.

Sammy revealed that she is now “addicted” to beets and eats them with every meal; She even squeezes the juice into her morning coffee.

“I moved to Australia and became addicted to beets,” she said in a video. ‘I just can’t get enough. I have never tasted anything so good.

Sammy’s love for this vegetable runs so deep that on his brief trip to New Zealand, the only thought he had was to return to Australia and eat beets.

“Every morning I wake up and eat beets and I wouldn’t want to eat anything different,” he said.

Sammy typically eats beets with yogurt for breakfast, beets on a muffin for lunch, and beet salad for dinner.

“I can’t stop eating it,” he said. “My friends make fun of me, but I never get tired of it. I love the taste, the color and the texture.”

The American doesn’t know what [she’ll] do” when I return home, because vegetables “aren’t as good” in the United States.

“I put the juice in my coffee,” he said. “I want it in everything.”

Some Australians were surprised by Sammy’s confession.

“I love beets, but this made me wonder what they taste like,” said one.

“Beets taste just like the soil smells, if that makes sense,” wrote another.

“Eating beets in a white t-shirt is RISKY,” one woman noted.

While others shared their favorite ways to enjoy the vegetable.

“Beets with feta, walnuts and arugula is the best salad,” one shared.

“You have to try toast, beetroot, goat cheese, balsamic vinegar and a little black pepper,” another advised.

It is believed that beets became popular in Australia after the First World War.

Hamburgers gained popularity due to the relationship with American troops after World War I in the 1930s, according to I love beets.

Beetroot later appeared in hamburgers as part of a prank on American troops, but became a popular staple of the Australian diet in the 1950s and 1960s.

In the 1970s, McDonald’s made an “all-Australian burger” with beetroot.

The popularity of the vegetable has continued to grow, with a consumer survey in 2020 shows that Australians buy almost a kilogram of vegetables three times a month.
