Beet spread is a vibrant, nutrient-rich condiment or dip made primarily from roasted or boiled beets, often blended with ingredients like garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and sometimes yogurt, tahini, or herbs for added flavor. Originating from Eastern European and Mediterranean cuisines, it boasts a naturally sweet and earthy taste. Packed with vitamins and minerals, beet spread is a great source of folate, manganese, and antioxidants like betalains, known for their anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Its high fiber content supports digestion, while the use of healthy fats, such as olive oil, promotes heart health. Beets also contain nitrates, which may improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. However, due to the natural sugars in beets, portion control is important for those monitoring their sugar intake. Delicious as a topping for bread, a dip for veggies, or a spread in wraps, beet spread is a wholesome, flavorful addition to various dishes.
