Beetroot is a rich source of carbohydrates, a good source of protein, and has high levels of important vitamins, minerals and micronutrients. It is a good source of dietary fibre, has practically no fat, and no cholesterol. This makes beetroot relatively low in calories (kilojoules). Raw beetroot contains 7.0g total sugars, while boiled and pickled beetroot contain 8.8g and 5.6g, respectively Beetroot is a good source of minerals. Raw, boiled and pickled beetroot contain 66g sodium (Na) and 380g potassium (K), 110g Na and 510 K, and 120 Na and 190 K, respectively. Boiled beetroot is particularly high in potassium. Calcium (Ca) ranges from 19g in pickled to 29g in boiled beetroot, while magnesium (Mg) is lowest in raw beetroot with 11g and is also highest in boiled beetroot with 16g, per 100g of root. Pickled beet has a lower level of phosphorous (P), only 11g, than raw beetroot with 51g and boiled beetroot with 87g per 100g. Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are 0.5g and 0.3 g in pickled beetroot, compared to 1.0g and 0.4g in raw and 0.8 and 0.5g in boiled beetroot, respectively source- = Beetroot (2004) = == Thankx Manjot

Health benefits of eating beets include:

• Lowers blood pressure. The naturally occurring nitrates in beets are converted into nitric oxide and is thought to relax and dilate the blood vessels, lowering blood pressure in as much as a few hours.
• Boosts stamina. Beet juice can help you feel better longer and stay active or longer periods of time.
• Fights inflammation. Beets are a source of a nutrient called betaine, which helps protect cells, proteins and enzymes from localized stress.
• Helps fight cancer. The phytonutrients that give beets their deep red/purple color is thought to help ward off and treat cancers.
• Boosts immune system. Beets are high in vitamin C, fiber and essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium, which are all immune system boosters.
• Helps purify the blood and liver. The betaken pigments in beets help in detoxifying the body by breaking down toxins so they can be excreted.
