Red Beet
These colorful root vegetables contain powerful nutrient compounds that help protect against heart disease, birth defects and certain cancers, especially colon cancer. The violet-red color of Beetroot occurs from a pigment known as Betacyanin, a powerful antioxidant not only protects the body but replenishes the blood with minerals and natural sugars. Rich in important minerals and micronutrients (especially folate/folic acid), Red Beets also contain vitamin C and A sodium, iron, calcium and magnesium as well as fibre.
