BEETS NUTRITION<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s not often that you can purchase one vegetable and get two different properties from it like you can with beets. \u00a0Although this is one of the great selling features of the beet, it doesn\u2019t seem to be flying off of the produce bin.<\/p>\n

Beets are the bulb or root of the plant and are usually a shade of red or purple. \u00a0They\u2019re generally pretty high in sugar, so you should get a nice, sweet taste. \u00a0Beets are also low in calories (approximately 75 calories per one cup serving), so they won\u2019t adversely affect your overall diet. \u00a0Plus, for every one cup worth of beets, you\u2019ll get 1\/3 of your daily need for folate, and a good serving of fiber and Vitamin C.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the other property associated with beets? \u00a0When you purchase them fresh, they\u2019re usually attached to a green, leafy plant. \u00a0Those greens are similar to Swiss chard and can be eaten as well.<\/p>\n
