Beets can be intimidating... they’re blood-red and taste a little like dirt but if you know how to use them they can taste amazing and be an excellent way to add incredible nutrition to your diet! ⠀
⠀
🍽 What we put on our plate either feeds disease or fights it, take a look at some of the amazing things beets can do for you below:⠀
⠀
⠀
🥬HEALTH BENEFITS OF BEETS🥬⠀
Antioxidants: These natural compounds protect your cells from damage. Antioxidants may lower the risk of heart disease, cancer or other diseases.⠀
⠀
Anti-inflammatory properties: Ongoing inflammation in the body is linked to several diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and obesity.⠀
⠀
Fiber: Beets are high in fiber. Fiber can help you control blood sugar levels, maintain a healthy weight, lower cholesterol and stay regular.⠀
⠀
Nitrates: Beets contain nitrates, which help widen blood vessels. That can help with blood pressure and may also improve athletic performance and brain function.⠀
⠀
Vitamins and minerals: Beets — and beet greens — are a good source of folate, a B-vitamin that’s especially important during pregnancy. 🤰🏻They’re also a good source of potassium, magnesium and vitamin C.⠀

My FAVORITE beets are the white wine balsamic beets from ⠀
I can’t get enough. If you like pickled veggies you will LOVE this in a salad!! It hides the dirt taste and gives it a fresh and tangy vibe. ⠀
