I had a family friend back in Canada complain about the same when she tried to use it to dye wool. The colour doesn't stick.

Sounds tasty right now since it’s tad chilly here in Turin. I would love to dip this with some nice piece of sourdough bread….and the beetroots are just gorgeous, aren’t they? <br /><br />Not a huge fan of honey, but I think this lovely stew will go with any type of natural sweetener such as maple syrup (mmmm) and I’m obsessed with maple syrup, hehe.

It sounds like this was a whole-hearted (and whole food and hearty) success despite that, and I loved the insights into your day. Barley and honey also sound like a great mix.

I've cooked with it in the past and yes it loses it's beautiful colouring upon cooking, the one thing I now do is slice it thinly with a mandolin and drizzle some dressing over it like a side salad, I,ve also made quiche with it in the past and I think the colours stayed in place.
