Beets
Whether you’re making a sandwich, roasting root vegetables or preparing a salad, extremely versatile beets make a flavorful addition to any meal. Beyond being delicious, beets are packed with nutrients that can help lower blood pressure to reduce inflammation.
Nutritional Information
- Excellent source of folate
- Very good source of magnesium and potassium
- Good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C
Selection Tips
- Beets should be small and firm with a deep maroon or gold coloring.
- Be on the lookout for beets with the leaf stems still attached – this will ensure freshness.
Storage and Handling
- Root bulbs of beets can be bagged and stored in the refrigerator for 7 – 10 days.
- Make sure to trim the leaves about 2 inches from the root after purchasing. These leaves take away moisture from the beet.
