Ingredients for sweet beets salad

Beets benefits

  • Beetroots are superfoods, packed with a lot of health benefits that can help you improve your health and also so alleviate some underlying health issues.
  • Did you know that beetroot is one among the few vegetables that have betalains? Betalains are bioactive chemicals that confer beets the red and yellow pigments.
  • Studies have shown betalains to contain a high amount of antioxidants and anti-inflammation properties, and that makes beetroot to be considered in the treatments of chronic inflammatory diseases such as hypertension, liver disease, arthritis, and even cancer.
  • Nitrates in beets improve blood flow, this makes oxygen to be well distributed all over your body.
  • Boost your immune system with beets, they're high in copper, zinc, vitamin C & A, which are known nutrients for a healthier immune system.

Can you eat raw beet?

  • Yes, you can and you should, because when cooked, beets lose some of their nutrients especially vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, and betalains.
  • Beets have a slightly bitter taste, and this will depend from one cultivar to another.
  • I've tasted quite bitter beets that are not great when eaten raw. However, I love very mature beets, they tend to have more taste and less bitter than young beets.
  • To make a delicious raw beets salad, add some sweetness to counteract the bitter taste, by adding apples, dry apricots, or dates, oranges, or lemon you'll love your raw beets salad.

Sweet beets salad is raw, this makes it high in oxalates; the anti-nutrients that reduce the absorption of certain minerals like iron present in beets. However, adding more vitamin C from orange will help in the absorption of iron.

There we go my dear friend, try this sweet beets salad and call your friends and tell them the good news! you can now eat raw beets... hahaha.

You can serve this beets salad with brown rice, millet, or bread. Serve it as an appetizer or starter just before the main meal.

I love you and please, keep on smiling, my thoughts of you make me happy and I sincerely hope that you're making yourself happy too...
