You Can't BEET Local Produce!
Hi ,
I am a fan of beetroot. I haven’t made a lot of friends by starting out a conversation this way... in fact, I might have lost a couple, but I don’t care! I am unashamedly in love with all things beetroot! Not sure what it is about them exactly but just the simplicity of it all - imagine purchasing some fresh beets, have them bubble away on the stove until they're tender and perfect, and then eating them with butter and salt and pepper. Easy!
Moreover, bet you didn't know that beetroot is quite a powerhouse when talking about health benefits for the body and mind...
1. Beetroot is of exceptional nutritional value, especially the greens, which are rich in calcium, iron and vitamins A and C. Beetroots are an excellent source of folic acid and a very good source of fibre, manganese and potassium.
2. Studies have shown that beets can significantly lower blood pressure by up to 4–10 mm Hg over a period of only a few hours.
3. Beets contain Nitrates. Nitrates appear to affect physical performance by improving the efficiency of mitochondria, which are responsible for producing energy in your cells.
4. Beets contain pigments called betalains, which may potentially possess a number of anti-inflammatory properties
