Though readily available at your grocery, you may not be used to gnawing on beet roots (the bulb) or beet greens (the leaves). Most commonly, you’ve probably seen the dark red bulb (root) in a salad with goat cheese.
Beets are full of nutrients, some of which include: potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus, iron; vitamins A, B and C; beta-carotene, beta-cyanine and folic acid. They are also low in calories, have zero cholesterol and provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification support.
