Beet roots belong to the Amaranthaceae family, species Beta vulgaris, and are believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region. These edible taproots are typically deep red to purple, round to conical, with a smooth to slightly rough exterior and green, veined leaves that can also be consumed. The plant grows to a height of about 30 – 60 cm, with roots about 5-10 cm in diameter.  Rich in folate, manganese, and nitrates, beet roots help improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and support liver health. They are served roasted, boiled, or juiced and often used in salads or soups. For storage, they should be kept unwashed in a cool, dry place or refrigerated in perforated bags to extend shelf life. Their pigments also find use in natural dyes and beauty products. Brighten your meals with our fresh beetroot! This earthy and sweet root vegetable is perfect for roasting, salads, or juicing.
