You Can’t Beat Beets
If you’re looking to fill your plate with vibrant color and tasty goodness this fall, we’ve got the beets. The raw, crunchy beetroot of the beet plant is naturally sweet with an earthy flavor, making it a popular addition to salads and side dishes in many cultures, from American and European dishes to Middle Eastern foods. 
Harvested during the summer through late fall, beets are a unique source of immune-boosting vitamin C, and the beet goes on with nutritional benefits including vitamin B-6, folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. Low-calorie with virtually no fat, beets are great for digestion and an excellent energy booster for folks looking for stamina. The nutritional content of vitamins and essential minerals in beets has prompted experts to recommend beets in diet plans when treating anemia, indigestion, and other disorders. 
Enjoying beet juice, specifically, is said to help reduce inflammation while also boosting cardiovascular health. Whether juiced, raw, cooked, grilled, steamed, or perhaps pickled with delicious red wine vinaigrette – beets are bound to be a brilliant addition to your healthy diet.
