"YOU WANT THE ROOT?"

"YOU CANT HANDLE TO ROOT!!"

BEETROOT....THE FACTS

The beetroot is a root vegetable, scientifically known as Beta vulgaris.

It is also known as red beet, table beet, garden beet, or simply beet.

Packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron and vitamin C.

Beetroots and beetroot juice have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure and increased exercise performance.

Many of these health benefits are due by their high content of inorganic nitrates.

Beetroots are delicious when eaten raw, but are more frequently cooked or pickled. Their leaves can also be cooked and enjoyed like spinach.

You forgot to mention that beetroot has been considered an aphrodisiac since Roman times. There were even images of beetroot on the walls of brothels in Pompeii.

Any beetroot lovers should try the Sweetfire baby beets from Tesco - marinaded in chilli, they are delicious. Their smoky shredded beetroot isn't bad either

I shred and pickle some with pepper every summer - can't stand the branded pickled stuff.

It's great when fresh, then grated, then thrown into stir fries too.
