About Candied beets

Candied Beets are a sweet and vibrant dish often enjoyed as a side or garnish. Typically made by roasting or boiling fresh beets and coating them with a glaze that includes sugar, honey, or syrup, they may also feature butter, spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, and a touch of citrus for balance. Rooted in American cuisine, their natural earthiness is complemented by the sweetness of the candying process. Beets themselves are nutrient powerhouses, rich in fiber, folate, and antioxidants like betalains, which support heart health and reduce inflammation. However, the added sugars in candied preparations can increase calorie content and may be a concern for those regulating blood sugar levels. This dish is a flavorful way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of beets in moderation, offering a blend of indulgence with wholesome plant-based qualities.
