Earthy beetroots
Beetroots, commonly referred to as beets, are vibrant and versatile vegetables. Their earthy flavour can be enjoyed raw, baked, cooked or juiced. Their leaves – known as beet greens – can also be eaten.
In addition to bringing a splash of colour to your plate, beetroots are highly nutritious and packed with essential vitamins and minerals that have medicinal properties.
Beetroots are packed with nutrients and can have many health benefits:
Exercise for longer
Beetroot can improve the amount of oxygen that muscles absorb during exercise which means we can perform at a certain level for longer.
Fight inflammation
Beetroot contains important pigments called betalains that have various anti-inflammatory properties.
Prevent fatigue
If our potassium levels are too low, fatigue, weakness, and muscle cramps can occur. Beetroot is a good source of potassium.
Reduce high blood pressure
Beetroot contains nitrates that boost our body's levels of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide tells our blood vessels to expand, increasing blood flow and lowering blood pressure.
Promote a healthy pregnancy
Beetroots are rich in folate which helps cells grow and function. Maintaining a healthy level of folate intake during pregnancy can reduce the risk of birth defects in the baby.
