Benefits of Beetroot:

Many articles and studies are on the web about its health benefits. And the benefits we get from this vegetable are also many; the essential benefits are

1. Beetroot has antioxidant(alpha-lipoic acid), which helps to lower the glucose level.
2. It reduced Blood Pressure Levels.
3.  It boosts brain power.
4.  It treats anemia and much more.

How to buy?

Excellent and fresh beetroot are available with their leaves. The leaves would be new and crisp. And beets look firm and vibrant dark purple-red.

Many times, beet is also available without its greens. Still, they are also good in quality. As a thumb rule, always look out for a firm, vibrant, round vegetable and not a soggy, wrinkled vegetable.

How to Store?

Beets with their leaves are suitable to store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. At the same time, leafless beet can be stored in a fridge for 2-3 weeks. Freezing the vegetable can be done if you are planning to cook/make juice.

However, freezing them for salad recipes is not good, as they become soft when thawed.

Hint: I always chop off its greens and refrigerate it for about 2-3 weeks. This method is helpful for recipes like salad, juice, and cooking. For this beetroot juice recipe, the beets can be fresh or frozen(perfectly thawed to room temperature).

Notes before making this recipe:

1. Beets have natural sweeteners, so adjust the quantity of sugar according to it.
2.  We get thick beet juice and adjust the water according to your preferred consistency. (I like to have a thicker consistency, so I would not add water much).
3.  After extracting the juice, the leftovers need not be discarded. As it still has all the health benefits, use them as the thickening agent for making patties, etc.
4.  Cucumbers and carrots are added to this recipe, making it more healthy and tastier.
