yes, observed all this by eating beets for years as raw beets may contain significant amounts of soil & hazardous heavy metals, better peel them before cooking, as I do ⬇️ add not too much water, so that when cooked, no water left be careful, easily burns, frequesntly check pot

Agree! There’s so many heavy metals in the soil these days.

I ferment my own #beetroot pickles and love that natural beetroot juice too!

You’re amazing, Kris! :-)

The excellent combination of phytonutrients, such as phenolic acid, flavonoids and carotenoids, makes beets act as a toxin purifier. Its high iron content also helps to cleanse and maintain our blood. Consume in juices or smoothies to make the most of its nutrients.

Agree! :-)

Though I don't eat Beets but I know that this is well explained. Maybe I will try it someday.

Thanks! People seem to love them or hate them. Quite a polarizing vegetable.
