Sugarbeets are a root like a carrot or a turnip. The sugarbeet is a cousin to the red garden beet, though sugarbeets are white and much larger. You also won’t find sugarbeets in the produce section of the grocery store. The true value of a sugarbeet is, you guessed it, the sugar!
A fully grown sugarbeet is about a foot long, weighs three to five pounds, and contains about 18 percent sucrose (sugar) in its root. Amazingly, one sugarbeet can produce an entire cup of sugar!

Only a fellow nurse would think that 😄

Punkie Night, a West Country tradition almost certainly linked with Hallowe’en, involves children marching round with lanterns made from swedes or mangelwurzels. The custom began when men coming home late at nightneeded candles to see their way. The lanterns – or ‘punkies’ – shielded the flame from the late October wind.The Field Record Book
