Fantastic Food Friday
Did you know that beets are one of the most nutritious food items you can eat? Rich in carbohydrates, they provide fuel to the body. They have no saturated fat, no trans fat, and are low in calories. Furthermore, beets provide a host of powerful disease preventing benefits that are especially relevant for women. High in calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and folic acid, they help to ward off osteoporosis, prevent birth defects, lower cholesterol - preventing strokes and hypertension - and have anti-inflammatory properties beneficial to asthma sufferers. Beets are great juiced, grated in salads or roasted and pureed in a delicious nutrient rich soup. Looking for a fresh side dish idea for Easter dinner? Beets are a perfect addition to your holiday table.
