🍠 Fun Beetroot Facts
- Beetroot has been eaten since ancient times, the Ancient Romans used it both as food and as medicine.
- You can eat the leaves too! Beet greens are rich in nutrients and can be sautéed just like spinach.
- That vibrant colour comes from betalains, powerful antioxidants that support heart health and reduce inflammation.
- Beetroot can literally make you blush, the natural pigment sometimes turns urine or stool pink (totally harmless!).
- Athletes love it! Beetroot juice is known to boost stamina and endurance thanks to its natural nitrates, which improve blood flow.
