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. 🫀

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! 🥫

If you’re looking for a comforting and warm recipe, here’s one that highlights root vegetables like beets: https://choosehomemade.org/recipes/root-veggie-stew-with-dumplings/



Los betabeles son más que un vegetal de invierno de color vibrante. ¡Son una potencia nutricional! Los betabeles son una excelente fuente de folato para un embarazo saludable, fibra para una buena digestión y hierro para ayudar a combatir el cansancio. Incluso ayudan a mantener el corazón y la presión arterial saludables.

Disfrútelas asadas hasta que estén dulces y tiernas, licuadas en un batido o picadas frescas en una ensalada. ¡Recuerde que puede usar los beneficios que WIC le da para comprar betabeles frescos o enlatados!

Si busca una receta reconfortante y cálida, aquí tiene una que destaca los vegetales de raíz como los betabeles: https://choosehomemade.org/es/recetas/sopa-de-verduras-con-dumplings/

How to Feed Your Family Well

As your child grows, offering a variety of foods helps them get the vitamins and minerals they need to thrive. You don’t have to do it perfectly every day. Small steps add up to big nutritional wins! 🙌
