Healthy Info
Just eat it!
The benefits of drinking beetroot juice, from helping to boost stamina and make muscles work more efficiently to reducing blood pressure , have made the news recently.
But did you know that eating 200g of cooked beetroot provides just the same health benefits as drinking 500ml of juice?
So if you can't stomach the idea of drinking 500ml of beetroot juice a day, why not try eating delicious ruby red beets instead? 3.5 cooked beetroot (approximately 200g) contain the same amount of nitrate as 500ml of beetroot juice, meaning you can reap similar rewards by incorporating a couple of tasty beetroot recipes into your daily diet instead.
Our Moroccan Beetroot & Mint Salad with Yogurt Dressing and Beetroot & Melted Brie on Toast contain exactly 200g of beetroot per serving making eating the required 200g of beetroot easy. We've also got a Beetroot, Pomegranate & Orange Smoothie recipe if you to try a more appetising way of drinking it too.
