blended into soups, or incorporated into homemade vegetable dishes. Beetroot juice is another option, although juicing removes much of the vegetable’s fiber. For most people, eating whole beets can be a convenient way to enjoy both their nutrients and their natural fiber.
It is also important to keep expectations realistic. Eating beets does not automatically prevent disease, eliminate excess body weight, dramatically increase energy, or replace prescribed treatment. Claims that a single food can “detox” the body, reverse serious health problems, or produce dramatic physical changes should be treated cautiously.
