Can I eat sprouted beets?

About a month ago, I bought a bag of beets and left most of them in the fridge (in the opened bag), naively thinking my family would eat them while I was away. Now they have grown these leaf-like thingys. Are they beyond salvation?

Sprouts are only really a problem with potatoes. You can eat beet leafs and sprouts, so you only need to check if they aren't spoiled in some other way.

As long as they are still firm and not mushy, it's fine.
