Beetroots are so healthy for you. It has tons of vitamins and minerals in it.

Beets contain some protein and a minimal quantity of fat, but most of their calories come from carbohydrates. Of the 17 g of carbohydrates in a cup of beets, 13.5 g are in the form of sugars. In addition, beets also contain 3.4 g of fiber per serving.

Beet root is an excellent source of folate and a good source of vitamin C. Folate is important for a healthy nervous system and supports the production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Vitamin C is a major antioxidant that protects your body from damage caused by environmental and metabolic toxins. Betalains and some other nutrients are reduced in cooked beets because they are sensitive to heat. As cooking time and temperature increase, betalains and vitamin C content steadily decreases.

Consequently, it is best to steam beets for less than 15 minutes or bake them at lower temperatures for less than an hour to retain most of the nutrients. Cooked beets are much higher in dietary fiber compared to beet juice because the juicing process removes over 90 percent of the fiber.
