beetroot

Beetroot, commonly known as beet, is a root vegetable with a deep purple-red color. It belongs to the amaranth family and is rich in nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as folate, manganese, and iron. Beetroots are known for their natural sweetness and can be eaten raw, cooked, or juiced. They are valued for their health benefits, including improving blood flow, lowering blood pressure, and supporting exercise performance due to compounds called nitrates. Additionally, beetroot’s vibrant color makes it popular in salads, smoothies, and dishes, and it’s used as a natural food coloring agent.
