Choose beets for a long & healthy life! Both the roots and the leaves are highly nutritious, containing powerful nutrient compounds that help protect against heart disease, birth defects, and cancer. Beets are a good source of Vitamin C & other antioxidants for immune system support. They are also high in iron, manganese, potassium and other minerals.

Leaves can be used like fresh spinach—eaten raw in salads, steamed or braised. Many people’s only experience eating beets is pickled or in soups. Try roasting, frying or lightly steaming to bring out other flavors.
