Notes
Beets are enjoying a come-back! Not only are they delicious, but nutritious. Beets provide a rich source of carbohydrates and protein, and have high levels of important vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. They are a great source of potassium, magnesium, folic acid, iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, niacin, biotin, betanin, and beta-carotene. They also contain the important vitamins – A, B6, and C – plus, powerful antioxidants and soluble fiber.
