Superfoods do not only provide our bodies with vitamins and minerals. They help us ward off diseases and remain healthy.

There are different varieties of beetroot: the red ones, which most people know. The golden beet, which is orange and still taste like the regular beet. The white beet which resemble the red varieties without the coloring traits.

Beetroot furnishes us with iron, folate, vitamin C, nitrate, magnesium and antioxidants. Not only is this vegetable rich in nutrients, it also can lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, detoxify the liver or even boost energy levels. Packed with fiber, beets also help with digestion.

Beetroot can be consumed in different ways: in salads, as a soup, in a smoothie or even as a beauty product. Nonetheless, be careful to avoid over consuming beets because it might cause kidney stones.

Bon appétit!
