About Beets

Beets are nutrient-packed root vegetables, cherished for their earthy flavor and vibrant color. Originating from the Mediterranean region, they’ve been cultivated for centuries and are staples in various cuisines, from Eastern European borscht to Middle Eastern salads. Rich in essential vitamins and minerals, beets are an excellent source of folate, potassium, manganese, and vitamin C. They're also high in dietary fiber and antioxidants, including betalains, which give them their deep crimson hue and support cellular health. Beets are noted for their ability to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure due to their natural nitrates. While beets are relatively low in calories, their natural sugars make them sweeter than many vegetables; this may affect blood sugar when consumed in large quantities. Versatile and nutritious, beets can be enjoyed raw, roasted, pickled, or blended into smoothies, offering a delicious way to boost your overall health.
