Beets are more than a vibrantly colored winter vegetable. They're a nutrient powerhouse! Beets are a great source of folate for a healthy pregnancy, fiber for good digestion, and iron to help fight tiredness. They even help support a healthy heart and blood pressure. đź«€

Enjoy them roasted until sweet and tender, blended into a smoothie, or chopped fresh onto a salad. Remember, you can use your WIC benefits for fresh or canned beets! 🥫

February is , a time to remember and celebrate the accomplishments, contributions, and leadership of Black Americans. Black history is American history, and it’s woven into the fabric of our communities, our health, and our shared future. That legacy includes leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose work for economic justice and food security reminds us that access to basic needs, including nutritious food, is necessary for families to thrive.

At WIC, we celebrate the caregivers, parents, and community leaders who nurture the next generation. đź«‚
