Description

Beetroot to many is their super food, a root vegetable also known as Beta vulgaris rubra or red beetroot.The leaves and roots of beets are packed with nutrition, including antioxidants that fight cell damage.  They’re one of the few vegetables that contain betalains, a powerful antioxidant that gives beets their vibrant colour. Betalains reduce inflammation.

🥗 Fresh bunched beetroot is a vibrant and nutritious root vegetable, typically harvested in the summer and sold with its leafy tops still attached. Here’s what makes it special:

🌿 Characteristics

  • Young and tender: These beets are smaller and thinner-skinned than winter varieties, making them ideal for raw or lightly cooked dishes.
  • Sweet and earthy flavor: Their natural sweetness shines in salads, juices, and even baked goods like brownies.
  • Leafy tops included: The greens are edible and packed with nutrients—great sautéed or added to soups.

🍽️ Culinary Uses

  • Grated raw into salads for crunch and color
  • Roasted whole for a caramelized depth
  • Blended into smoothies or juices
  • Used in creative dishes like beetroot carpaccio or beetroot brownies

🧑‍🌾 Nutritional Benefits

  • Rich in fiber, folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C
  • Contains betalains, antioxidants that help reduce inflammation

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Chop off the leaves to prevent moisture loss from the root
  • Store roots in a cool, dark place; leaves in the fridge if using soon

These beauties aren’t just good for you—they’re a feast for the eyes and the palate.
