Beet: Ravishing Round Redness
During the cold season, root vegetables come in handy! I found a recipe featuring beets 0and modified it (the original fed an army!). Depending on the size of the portions, one can easily feed an average family with the recipe provided. The recipe can be warmed up in the dehydrator (1 hour) or on the stove on low heat checking that it doesn't get too hot (stick your finger in, it never fails!).
If you have a vegetable garden, you may vary the colour of your meals by including different coloured beets. From bright red to yellow all the way to a lovely shade of pink.
And you all know my love of nutritional information. I just love to know what I eat and how it contributes to my health and energy! And beets are not in lack of nutritional attributes. See for yourself!
The beet is an excellent source of folic acid; a very good source of manganese and potassium; a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, tryptophan, iron, copper and phosphorus. Not to mention the fact that its leaves are even tastier than spinach, according to some!!!
What is more classical with marvelous beets than making a Raw Borscht Soup (click here to view the recipe).
