Can I eat sprouts that grew in my garden bed?

I know usually you grow sprouts to eat hydroponically, but I dumped a whole envelope of beet seeds in a row or two and seems every one of them came up. I'll have to thin it out, but hate to just throw them away. Any disadvantage to throwing them in salad or whatnot?

    Thanks guys, it seemed like a silly question but I never knew anyone that did this to my knowledge. I always save beet tops and radish tops from the supermarket, so makes sense. Adding to my Greek salad now!!

      No reason not to eat them. You could thin in stages to get some bigger beet tops.
