This week Toby at Johny’s Garden has let me know that beetroot is going strong. Beetroot is one of the few vegetables that contain betalains, which is a powerful antioxidant that gives beets their vibrant color. Betalains reduce inflammation and may help protect against disease. Beetroot is also packed with lots of fibre, folate, manganese, vitamin C, vitamin A and potassium. Beetroot is an incredibly versatile veggie – you can bake it, eat fresh, boil, pop in a salad, a pastry or even in a dessert – so many things to do with this one. Head over to see Toby this week for your bunch and check out this week’s recipe of the week featuring this delicious veggie.
