Beetroot, commonly known as beets, is a vibrant root vegetable celebrated for its earthy flavor and nutritional powerhouse profile. Originating in the Mediterranean region, it has been a staple in various cuisines, from Eastern European borscht to fresh, modern salads. Beets are rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. They are also packed with antioxidants like betalains, which give them their deep red hue and may help reduce inflammation. Additionally, beets are a natural source of nitrates, known to support blood pressure regulation and improve exercise performance. While low in calories, their natural sugars make them relatively higher in carbs compared to other vegetables, so portion control is key for those monitoring their sugar intake. Whether enjoyed raw, roasted, or juiced, beetroot adds both nutritional benefits and a pop of color to any dish.
