Nutritional values

Beets are full of positive ingredients: B vitamins, potassium, iron and folic acid. They have a blood-purifying and blood pressure-lowering effect, and stimulates the metabolism. Betanin gives beets their ruby-red color, a mineral which protects cells and vessels and helps strengthen the immune system.

It's best to use beets that were organically farmed, as they'll be lower in nitrate, and aren't farmed using pesticides.
