Oh sweet beets, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways...
We love RED BEETS because...
Of your cancer-fighting properties.
One cup of raw beets packs more potassium than a banana!
You're high in good carbs, which fuel the body.
You're nutritious and delicious from top to tail! In fact, beet greens are packed with nutrients like vitamin C.
We love YELLOW BEETS because...
Ounce for ounce, you boast almost twice as much folate as spinach. (Great news for pregnant women!)
One cup cooked yellow beets has only 70 calories and no trans or saturated fat.
You only get brighter and more vibrant when roasted.
You're versatile and even make a great cake! You can take your favourite carrot cake recipe and replace the shredded carrots for yellow beets.
We love WHITE BEETS because...
You're the sweetest of the bunch.
You don't stain our hands.
You're delicious roasted with salsa verde.
We love CANDY CANE BEETS because...
You're just so darn pretty!
Even raw, you're delicious, which is when you look your most vibrant.
You jazz up any salad.
When sliced into rounds from the root end, your rings of colour stay intact.
