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.

- 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.
