I ate the whole mess, actually it was good if you don't mind chewing on grass. I cooked the tops with garlic olive oil and sticky vinegar which is very flavorful and some minced garlic from a jar of course. I just had the leaves and took out the vein down the middle. Had carrot tops too. Beets were good too. I forgot about the pouch, probably why they took longer to cook.

Hi @jakedduck1 I believe a person will like the foods he or she grew up eating. All my life I enjoyed eating any greens i.e. dandelions, rapini, beet tops, and swiss chard to name a few. It is a popular European side dish and a favorite with us. My family would boil the greens. After well draining the water, we would add olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. I make sure to have a batch ready when my children visit. We don’t mind eating grass. Besides it being delicious, it is part of a healthy diet, the Mediterranean diet.
@jakedduck1 Bravo!👏👏Sometimes I steam the beet tops.

@kakedduck1 Leonard, you are bravely stepping in to new territory with things to cook. Good for you! Glad to see it. My acceptable foods seems to be narrowing down more each week due to kidney issues, but apples and oatmeal are still okay!
