I am always trying to find more ways to eat beets because of their high nutritional content and health benefits. Not only are they loaded with vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, and plenty of minerals but they are great for improving circulation, treating constipation, building healthy blood, and removing toxins from the body. Don't forget to eat the beet greens because they are full nutrients as well. These beautiful purple roots are known to treat and prevent conditions such as anemia, high blood pressure, cancer, constipation, ulcers, and much more. That is reason enough for me to want to eat them!
