It is indeed smooth enough to enjoy straight.

I like beet leaves even more than I do the beets them selves. I
generally cook the roots, stems and leaves separately for different
amounts of time and then combining them. If the supermarket only has
beetroots at any given time I try to pick up some other kind of
greens to accompany them.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Beets with Stout and Sauteed Beet Greens
Categories: Beer, Vegetables
     Yield: 8 Servings

     9 lb Beets including the greens;
          trimmed, leaving 2 inches
          of stems intact, reserving
     1 lb of the beet greens chopped
     3 tb Guinness stout
     1 tb Red-wine vinegar
   1/4 c  Unsalted butter

 In a kettle cover the beets with 2 inches cold water, bring to a
 boil, and simmer the beets, covered, for 20 to 35 minutes
 (depending on their size), or until they are tender. Drain the
 beets and under the cold running water slip off and discard their
 skins and stems. In a skillet bring to a boil the stout and the
 vinegar and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the butter. Stir in the
 beets, quartered, add the salt and pepper to taste, and keep the
 beets warm, covered. In a large skillet heat the remaining 2
 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until the foam
 subsides, in it saute the reserved beet greens, stirring, for 5
 minutes, or until they are tender, and stir in the salt and pepper
 to taste. Arrange the greens around the edge of a platter and
 mound the beets in the center.
