THE BEETROOT

Beetroot is a superfood. A powerful detox, it purifies the body while having great nutritional value at the same time.

CHARACTERISTICS

Red beetroot (Beta vulgaris var. rapa forma rubra) is a vegetable belonging to the Chenopodiaceae family. It should not be confused with white beetroot (used for sugar production) and has a mild, sweet taste. Beetroot is a superfood. A powerful detox, it purifies the body while having great nutritional value at the same time. It contains – among other things – fiber, minerals, trace elements, potassium, vitamins A, B and C, and folic acid. Beetroots are remineralizing and restorative, as well as being extremely beneficial, especially during flu seasons. This is because they contain large

amounts of mineral salts and vitamins. Furthermore, the fiber and high water content make them cleansing and digestive. Since certain chemical compounds contained in the vegetable appear to be capable of revitalizing red blood cells, the consumption of beetroot is particularly recommended for anemic individuals. Don't throw away the leaves! The leaves are also interesting for health, as they contain precious antioxidant compounds such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are particularly useful for eye health.
