About Fresh beets

Fresh beets are vibrant root vegetables with a rich, earthy flavor and a history rooted in Mediterranean and Eastern European cuisines. Packed with essential nutrients, they are an excellent source of fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, and vitamin C. Beets are well-known for their high levels of antioxidants, particularly betalains, which contribute to their deep red color and promote anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. They also contain nitrates, which can support heart health by enhancing blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Low in calories and fat, beets provide a nutritious option for salads, juices, and roasted dishes. Their natural sugars offer a subtle sweetness, though those monitoring sugar intake should consume them in moderation. From their leafy tops to their hearty roots, fresh beets are a versatile and healthful addition to a balanced diet.
