Beets are a nutrient-dense vegetable that provide fiber, folate, potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidants with relatively few calories. They are especially known for their high nitrate content, which the body converts into nitric oxide to improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and support exercise performance and endurance. These effects also contribute to better heart and brain health by enhancing circulation and blood vessel function.

Beets contain unique antioxidants called betalains that help reduce inflammation, fight oxidative stress, and support liver detoxification. Their fiber supports digestion and gut health, while naturally occurring compounds like betaine aid liver function and important cellular processes. Although beets are higher in natural sugars than many vegetables and contain oxalates, they are healthy when eaten in normal portions and can be prepared in ways that preserve both flavor and nutrients.

Notes*
-Roasting preserves flavor; steaming preserves nutrients best
-Beets are higher in natural sugars than leafy greens (still healthy in normal portions)
-High in oxalates, so moderation is wise for those prone to kidney stones
