Beets are a rich source of dietary nitrates as well as containing many other nutrients that support good health; Made up of 88% water when raw, beets are relatively low in calories yet high in fiber, vitamins, and phytonutrients
Unlike other sources of iron, the body assimilates iron from the beet root more easily than any other known food. Beets also contain potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, iodine, vitamins and many trace minerals.
