Beetroot

Beetroot

If your only encounter with beetroot is ABC juice – a sweet blend of apple, beetroot and carrot, for the uninitiated – then perhaps it’s time to get better acquainted with this health-food titan.

Also known as beets, these purplish red vegetables are an exceptional source of phytochemicals, fibre, manganese and potassium, amongst other nutrients. Regular consumption of beetroots has been shown to boast a multitude of health benefits – from reduced blood pressure levels and regular bowel movements, to improved liver functions.

It’s not difficult to incorporate this versatile vegetable in your diet. From appetisers such as the classic borscht or savoury tarte tatin, to desserts – a lush red velvet cake or a fudgy brownie – the possibilities are endless.
