Beets are a nutrient-packed root vegetable known for their vibrant color and earthy sweetness. Originating from the Mediterranean region, they have been cultivated for thousands of years and are staples in diverse cuisines, including Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and North African. Beets are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, such as folate, manganese, potassium, and vitamin C, and are a good source of fiber. They contain powerful plant compounds like betalains, which give them their deep red hue and may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Beets also support heart health by promoting healthy blood pressure due to their natural nitrates. Despite their many benefits, beets are naturally high in sugar compared to many vegetables, so portion size may be considered for those monitoring their sugar intake. Enjoy them roasted, pickled, juiced, or blended into soups and salads for a versatile addition to any meal.
