6 Health Benefits of Eating Beets
If you are an avid beet lover, this article isn't for you (but read on anyway for validation of your beet love)! You already know that beets are an extremely nutritious food choice that just happens to be tasty and delicious – you can eat the greens too! You already know that beets are an insane source of vitamins and minerals. But did you know that beets are the second largest source of sugar, after sugar cane?
If you're not a beet lover, read on, and you soon will be.
1. Beets are nature's Viagra
Seriously. One of the first known uses of beets was by the ancient Romans, who used them medicinally as an aphrodisiac. And that's not just urban legend – science backs it up. Beets contain high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones.
2. Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals
Potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus, iron; vitamins A, B & C; beta-carotene, beta-cyanine; folic acid. These are but a few of the many nutrients, vitamins and minerals that can be found in beets and beet greens. Beets are particularly beneficial to women whom are pregnant, as the vitamin B and iron are very beneficial to new growth cells during pregnancy and replenishing iron in the woman's body.
3. Beets cleanse the body
They are a wonderful tonic for the liver, works as a purifier for the blood, and can prevent various forms of cancer. Nuff said, right? Tastes good and prevents cancer? Sign me up!
4. Beets help your mental health
Beets contain betaine, the same substance that is used in certain treatments of depression. It also contains trytophan, which relaxes the mind and creates a sense of well-being, similar to chocolate. Beets can also lower your blood pressure. So if you're already steamed about not eating beets, you can get a two-fer by diving into them right away.
5. Beets are used as a stomach acid tester
How in the world does that work? Glad you asked. If you are eating a lot of beets or beet juice, and your pee turns pink, guess what? You have low stomach acid. Pee still clear? Ratchet it up and get juicing (use the greens too)! Nutritionists use beets and beet juice to test stomach acid levels, so stay ahead of the curve by adding beets to your diet now.
6. Beets are a high source of energy
At the same time they are low in calories and high in sugar (although the sugar is released into your system gradually, as opposed to chocolate). Very few foods found in the natural world are as beneficial as beets in this regard.
Beets are a wonderful addition to any dietary need. With their high volume of nutrients, delicious taste, and multitude of uses, anyone can jump right into beets without missing a beat.
Bet you didn't know:
Beets were served in space when the astronauts of Apollo 18 met up with their brethren in Soyuz 19. They served borscht.
If you are juicing, but haven't gotten to veggies yet, give beets a try. Use a small amount at first to supplement your already yummy fruit smoothies. Work your way up to more as you see fit.
What are you using your beets for? Let us know in the comments below.

This is a great article. I use beets right before my running exercise now. It makes a major!! Major performance increase! I can run farther and longer distances and don't get tired as much. It is an incredible vegetable/root that alot of people just dont know about or care less!
When I was pregnant, I stood at my kitchen counter and ate an entire can of beets! They tasted so good at the time…I think it's like when pregnant women want to eat dirt…but this is so much better for you! Haha
One beet.a slice of pineapple. Half apple…blend it in nutri bullet. Delicious juice. No mess. No waste. Plus it keeps you hydrated n full for a bit…
Thank you by for the juice recipe…Will try it…
I drink beet juice everyday. My urine is a reddish color…………I heard this is normal. I buy the juice weekly. I heard it has many great benefits .
Hi Vicki:-)
I don't drink the juice, but eat beetroot every night in a lovely salad: peaches, watermelon, red cabbage, beetroot, nuts, etc.
My urine is reddish, and I don't think that it has anything to do with any health condition…
Drink more water
How did you make your juice? Did you use the juicer or blend it fine and drink with pulp? Juicer removes all the pulp. Can you let me know.
Thank you
Buy raw beets, stem, root and all. Remove stem with leaves and save for other use (also very high in nutrients). Gently wash beet, slice into quarters and steam for 15 minutes. Let cool then add oNE half into blender along with carrots, coconut water, kale, a pinch of ginger and 3 cubes of ice. Blend smooth and enjoy.
I blend one large beet root, 1 red apple, 3 celery stalks, baby carrots, ginger root and lemon juice in my Bullet blender and store in fridge till cold and drink it through the day. Awesome liver cleanser!
Can you send me the exact amount of each ingredient please. I have the Nutri Ninja. I love blending different things together. Thank you
Although beets have the highest sugar content of all vegetables, most people can safely eat beet roots a few times a week (and their greens in unlimited quantities), enjoying not only their sweet, earthy flavor but also their powerhouse nutrients that may improve your health in the following ways. Drinking beet juice may help to lower blood pressure in a matter of hours.
That's true about lowering blood pressure..in only a few hours…so drink it every day…
I recentlt stared eating beets do to my anemia however im trying to get the answer to my question is it ok to drink the juice off the canned beets?
I would not be consuming canned beets (or the juice) especially if its in an aluminum can. Aluminum is stored in the body and very difficult to get rid of and is one of the culprits of Alzheimers. Invest in a juicer and blend raw beets along with red apple, banana, berries, etc. Be creative!! Include the peels. Nutribullets are the next best juicer to a Vita MIx and is much less expensive and spins fast enough to open up the cell membrane of the fruits/veggies. Stir FAR away from any canned foods if you can.
Most manufacturers seal their cans with a food grade lining these days, so there should be no concern regarding leeching of metals from the cans to the foods.
While I've been aware of this for many years now, I took the time to write to a couple of well known producers of canned goods earlier today regarding this matter, and received the following response confirming this from Del Monte already –
Thanks for visiting our Del Monte website and for your email.
Our cans are lined with enamel coatings.The function of the enamel coating is to prevent the product from interacting with the metal. Various types of food-grade enamels may be used. They are combinations of natural and/or artificial resins which act as an inert barrier to the product. Enamels are selected for compatibility with the specific product being packed. The enamels used are FDA-approved for food contact.
If you have any other questions, we hope you'll give us a call Monday – Friday at 800-543-3090.
So, as you can see from this response, producers of canned goods have long been aware of the problem of metals from the can leeching into foods and have taken steps to prevent this from occurring long ago with modern canning processes which include lining the cans with food safe sealants.
Whether buying beets in cans or in glass containers, yes, it's fine to drink the juice that beets come with for additional beet goodness. I do it all the time, and have no problems atl from doing so.
I also have a very nice juicer which I occasionally make beet juice with, for a more potent, concentrated dose of beet goodness, which is a very good liver cleanse.
So, yes, drink the juice… it's good for you…!

Great article, I've personally seen some amazing benefits with beetroot. Anyone interested in natural medicine should definitely check out the ebook "10 super herbs that will change your life forever". You can download it for free here: tensuperherbs.com. I tried a few of the herbs from that book and my life has changed completely
I went to that site and, when I entered my email, it said the mailing list is not currently active. I did a google search of the author from the site and can't find any of his other work. I was looking forward to reading the free ebook. Wonder what happened?
Her doctor isn't open to vitamins and minerals because they interfere with blood thinners like warfarin working correctly. You obviously have no medical knowledge and shouldn't be giving medical advice. The provider is probably fine with the majority of patients using supplements but when it come to someone who has a serious medical condition that requires blood thinners they are just not an option. One of the biggest concern is getting too much vitamin k. Found in many healthy foods and supplements, it is actually used as the reversal agent for warfarin. This can cause your blood to become too thick resulting in the patient to develop blood clots.
I am on 5mg of Warfarin / Coumadin for the last 13 months and my INR are always 2.0 to 2.2. I eat beets three or four times a day. Just stay away from all greens and you should be fine.
When you study natures medicine you find that you free yourself of the many side effects that pharmaceuticals bring. The point is that nature has the answer to blood thinning and some some instances proven better than drugs..like vitamin E, cod liver oil etc… Many answers are found in nature if you care to search, therefore I would not be quick to reprimand someone on suggesting beet roots. If you worship the doctor of the medical training you might have, please understand that there are 360 degrees to a circle and modern medicine in this country is a one per center.
Civilizations existed and thrived long before the white coat and stethoscope existed. Man learned how to live from the resources that God provided, unless you believe that you are a descendant of a monkey, in which the monkey never questions whether it's beneficial to eat the banana or the herbs when he is sick…instinctively he does it or dies. In my many years of Alternative Health I am amused by this mentality which tries to frighten those who look beyond the one degree, yet medicine as you would think you know it in this country has its roots (no pun intended) in the earthly medicines. But for profit they try chemical substitutes for what they have found to work in nature which can somewhat imitate natures active ingredients of what God has made… but its unnatural and it kills thousands each year.
Every new drug is taken off the shelf within 5 years or has its warnings changed. Consider your drug commercials..now many of those companies are being deeply sued and rightfully so. If you are one of the monkey people who worship the white jacket, then by all means continue with your drugs and their effects, this is written more for those who are on a free God Given Path to actually Think and Reason for Themselves. Everyone should see the Youtube Video "Forbidden Cures" This says it all before you return with some foolish reply…show us all how to make the historical facts of this documentary disappear. Yours in Christ.
I love em plain, peeled and boiled or steamed to the right consistency. Lightly salted and peppered. I love the hearty flavor (almost similar to corn) that comes from cooking it plain.
I was told by my doctor to get my iron up,so I've been eating beers pickled, beet chips & beet juice. I was one who swore to never eat them but I love them now.I have to watch my potassium also so I don't want to overdo it.
I am thin and I have low blood pressure frequently. I also have l5-s1 disc buldge. I am 26 year old female.Can I eat Beetroot 3- times a week? Is it good for my health?
yes sure
A year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis to the liver. I underwent surgery as well as eight months of chemotherapy with the hopes, as my physician described it, to "prolong" life.
My sister directed me to a website relating the experience of a younger man diagnosed with the same who juiced beets with carrots, celery and ginger and was declared free of cancer. I began the same juicing regimen immediately after my surgery.
After a year of juicing, I was given a CT scan, no evidence of cancer. The surgeon and oncologist were astounded. They ordered and MRI…no evidence of cancer. Still unsure of how this could occur, the surgeon perform outpatient laproscopic surgery to visually inspect the tumors on my liver…again, no evidence of cancer.
Since this diagnosis, I have had two CT scans and an MRI…still no evidence of cancer.
While I am sure the chemotherapy was a major reason for my recovery, the juicing regimen, along with other recovery related methods I used, helped get me to the point I am at today.
Drink your beets!
Can you email. Would like to ask you about your juicing
Did you get the recipe and could you please share. Thanks
What was ur juice concoction pls?
This will guarantee that the body gets every one of the nutritional supplements

I love beets… I'll eat them right out of the can.
Shouldnt eat anything out of a can.. buy the roots and steam em yourself
I toss them in olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Then I roast them in the oven @ 375 degrees for 1-2 hours depending on the size. It really brings a nice sweetness to them.
For all the countries in the world who no longer use Fahrenheit for temperature,(there are only 3 ) it is 190 degrees celsius
Oh yes Shannon! I've had shredded beets mixed with shredded carrots and you can't tell the difference between either of them. I've also heard that diced beets and diced cucumbers are a great combination
I grow my own beets in our small backyard plot. There is nothing any easier than growing Beets. I use Detroit red and always have a good crop, When you have lots of 2 to 3 inch beets you can eat them as many ways as you like.
I would like to grow my own beets…*newbie. Any suggestions I live in the washington dc area….
Would you shred them raw?
I haven't eaten beets for years. I started craving beets recently and found a juice that lists beets as their main ingredient – it was a juice from root vegetables. I bought some canned beets at the store and started looking online for some nutritional value. I recently experienced massive blood clots in both lungs and I am alive today to tell the story. I now have pulmonary hypertension and have to take bp medicine as well as blood thinners for the rest of my life – at least that's what I am told. Both medicines interfere with otc vitamins and minerals, so I started looking at other ways to get the vitamins I am lacking. With all the medicine I had to take in October, November and December, I know my immune system is lacking in what it needs to work properly. My family dr is not open to vitamins and minerals. I guess I am on my own to stay on the road to better health.
I'd say find a new doctor. When searching for a new doctor ask the receptionist if he or she knows if the doctor is open to alternative medicine such as vitamins and supplements. If they don't know ask to talk to each doctors nurse. It's a process to find the right match.
Google the side effects of your statins, then question your doctor about not using alternative health.
I used the beets raw leafy greens in a sandwich amazing flavor. Then I also used the rest of the leafy greens in a juice I mixed in some red grapes, apples, carrots, kale, celery, granny smith apples plus the raw beet. Juice was great.
I've always loved beets and grew up with my grandma making traditional Harvard beets. It's a very fond memory I have of her and me helping her make a pot roast and beets. My infant twins LOVE pureed beets mixed with pears or apples. They go nuts for it, but I have a special red bib I use otherwise it stains everything, lol!

goood post….!
its great post…!
I eat canned beets as a salad with salt, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. It curbs my appetite.
I make a great morning smoothie with 1 peeled raw beet, coconut water, hemp seeds, kale and a few baby carrots. Great tasting and it provides fuel for morning cardio.
I use fresh red beets with my Nutri Bullet. Root vegetables, including the beet, are said to be beneficial for those who suffer with hypertension ( high blood pressure). I've always loved beets and now I have this smoothie for breakfast 3-4 days out of the week.
1 small red beet stem removed and washed cut into quarters,
handful of fresh kale
1/2 orange – handful of frozen berries
1/2 apple ( I used gala)
3 ice cubes
1/2 c. bottled water and extract for 20-30 seconds.
Delicious and so good for you!
I put mine in the nutria bullet also but I noticed it made my smoothie taste a bit like dirt, how much should I put in?
I make a yummy beet salad.
chop up roasted beets into cubes.
add sliced mozzarella ball cheese.
add spinach and thinly sliced cucumbers.
toss with taaziki sauce.
I don't like the texture of them. I know they are good for me. We have them in our salad every time we eat Italian.
Have you tried putting them into your smoothies? (Raw) ? I don't like the texture of cooked beets and I don't like the taste of raw or cooked beets — so I add them to a smoothie … drinking one right now with:
1 raw beet
1 celery
5 slices of cucumber
1 carrot
4 TBS plain yogurt
6 chunks of fresh pineapple
5 frozen strawberries
1 cup coconut water
I use a Nutri Ninja ………. yummy! Now I can have beets a couple times a week
This sounds amazing. I started a green smoothie cleanse and Im down almost 10 pounds in 14 days. I just bought some beets to add wanted to read up on the benefits of eating beets since I never have. Thanks for all the info and the recipes.
I use beets a lot to make this AMAZING salad. You first cut the boiled and peeled beets and combine with chopped Granny Smith apples. If you like red onions you can add them as well. Then combine with 1/3 cup sour cream (with 3 beats and one Apple) one tablespoon of brown sugar and one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Mix it all together and it turns into a delicious pink salad topper. I like to put it on a bed of arugula with crumbled goat cheese and chopped peacans. It's so delicious and you get tons of beet intake without even knowing it. Enjoy!!
Nothing against you Saram7485. I agree with the comments here. I just bought 2 types of beets -canned and jarred and they have no vitamin A, B, or C on the label. No iron or calcium. It only shows a small amount of potassium-130mg. I love beets but I thought the vitamin content was high.I know beets are good for you but was surprised to see the label facts.
Beets are very high in vitamins and minerals, but unfortunately they lose their nutritional content when canned or jarred. The most beneficial way to guarantee you are ingesting all of its nutrients is to eat them raw.
I grew up on a farm and growing beets among many other veggies…raw vs cooked really people…boil those puppies…then cool and eat with a light mayo yummy…pickle them if your from the east…do whatever…everyone is too uptight about nutrients these days:)
I love beets…always have….but only ate canned. Recently, we started getting organic fruits and veggies delivered to our house through a CSA. I decided to jump in and cook up the raw beets. They are sooo good! Very easy to cook. Wash well and quarter, simmer for 10-15 minutes, depending on size. Cool to handle and slide the peel off. Have to confess, I left the skins on….taste good and more fiber, right?
I'm going to have to try this!! I have always had the canned beets… That's what I always ate growing up, but I want to buy some beets now and cook them
LOL…. that's funny… no, foods do not lose their nutritional content when they are canned or jarred, although it might seem like some kind of magic trick if one relies solely on information provided on the labels of these products. .
The fact is, the FDA simply doesn't require all of the nutritients a food provides to be listed on the food labels.
Even the 4 nutritional items they do require (Vitamin A & C, and the minerals calcium and iron, and note that these are the only nutrients that they do require to be listed) are exempt from being listed on the label if the food is deemed to provide them in "insignificant amounts". and good luck finding any definition of what an insignificant amount is according to the FDA. If the producer doesn't want to list the nutrient, they simply deem it to be an "insignificant amount" and it doesn't end up on the label…
So, no nutritional content is actually lost at all when a food is packaged in a can or glass jar. There is simply no requirement, by law, for the nutritional content to be listed on the label aside from four specific items, and even those are not required if they are judged to be found in amounts too small to bother with listing, despite the item retaining it's full nutritional content, as in the case with beets
Canned or jarred anything obviously loses much of it's original nutrition content. Grab some fresh beets and enjoy!
Foods do NOT lose their nutritional content when canned or jarred. There is simply no requirement, by law, for their nutrients to be listed on the label. They do, in fact, retain their full nutritional content. It is simply not listed, nor required by law to be listed on the can or jars label.
So, go ahead and buy a can or a jar of beets, and enjoy….!
Not sure what brand you purchased, but cooked beets have the following nutrients –
(nutrient – Daily Recommended Intake %)
folate – 34%
manganese – 28%
potassium – 15%
copper – 14%
fiber – 14%
magnesium – 10%
phosphorus – 9%
vitamin C – 8%
iron – 7%
vitamin B6 – 6%
Calcium – 3%
Selenium – 2%
Sodium – 9%
Zinc – 5%
So, no, beets are not a source of vitamin A….
Beetroot is the best source of iron.its increases our haemoglobin rapidly.it causes pink cheeks and red lips and prevents paleness…extremely good for those who usually have low haemoglobin
I started eating beets this past Sunday, I was told beets help with raising my blood count ..I steam the beet with leafs and all and blend it and just drink it once a day.
I just made a very yummy beet soup :). http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/beet-soup-with-caraway
Where I come from, we eat this beet salad with horseradish
My mother used to make a salad with beets, horseradish and, I think, sour cream (I'm thinking I could use Greek yogurt. Is that the one?
Beets are great for dark lips and they bring back the natural colir
You can try this.. Boil it and slice it, eat it with lemon juice and olive oil
I love juicing it with apple and carrots…It makes me feel fit and alive everyday…
I love to juice beets, they are great along with oranges. I'm thinking of picking up some beets from the market this evening. Yum!
this comment is in favor of cooking. Maintain your cooking temps low. Use little water just enough to steam. ANY left over water, re-cycle into juices, or plain drinks.
I like to cook beets on low fire so there is a little water left when they are done. then I slice the beets, put garlic slices in it, olive oil fresh lemon juice and unrefined salt. When I consume the beets I simply drink the water juice left over. It is unbearably delicious!
Also, guess what I don't think there is a "green" as delicious as the green tops of the beets. I am not even kidding. I steam it low, and I repeat the process above. I drink the left over water.
I am encouraged to hear the results from beets! let's have a beet party!
Yeah I agree with joy. boiled it in water and ate them with chopped onion and balsamic vinegar!
Hi there, I make a smoothie with whey, raw beets, blueberries, mango and whatever other seasonal fruit is available…pure fruit juice/water, as a recovery drink after cycling and gyming, absolutely awesome… It's awesome for muscle recovery.
beet is the best fruit forr a good health
It help the healthy and fress
A lot of miniral present in the beet
Try juicing 1/2 a beet with a yam and apple and adda little garlic or ginger. Yum. Very cleansing.
I cook the leafs as I do spinach. The raw root I dice to eat in salads; it delivers crunches and it tastes great.
Hi cowboy54 wow that's great. I have just added beets to my diet and even though I have not reaped the benifets I will continue . thanks for suggestions.
Add walnuts to the goat cheese and beets and you now added some protein!! More yummy!
Don't boil your beets. you lose the nutrients when you boil and they become saturated with water. Steam or roast in the oven. Just wrap in aluminum foil, place in a oven proof dish and roast on 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Depends on size of course. Peel, slice, add goat cheese, extra virgin olive oil, arugula, a pinch of pepper and salt if you desire. Toss and serve with a nice chilled glass of mimosa or bellini. YUM!!!
Right you sure do want to get those beets, in your hubby. I have eaten them for a long time, they sure do brighten up ones love life. I recommend all men eat some beets….
Been trying to find different ways to fix beets. Fixed Sweet Potatoes and Beets last night with brown sugar and pecans. Was really good but as someone mentioned early, pink urine today. We have been frying sliced beets and sweet potatoes in Coconut oil, then season with pink salt, rosemary and garlic. Really yummy. I have been really over doing the beets lately. I am working out with my son and his personal trainer recommended them for the nutrican and natural nitrous oxide properties.
Try something and yummy. Raw shredded beets an shredded carrots. Add olive oil, lemon juice or Modena vinegarette, little salt- Enjoy!
Try peeling then cutting into chunks, toss with a little olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and a little salt then roast in the oven on 425 for about 30-45 minutes until tender. Delicious!
Beets are Great. They will help you in many ways. I am so glad I have gone back to eating them.
don't do that just boil them!!!!!!!!!!!11
What everyone should remember when eating beets is that they are very strong detoxifiers of the liver. This means if you eat a lot of them all a once your liver will dump a large amount of toxins in your blood stream. This may cause side effects like dizziness or nausia. This doesn't mean that it is bad for you; it just means that you need to introduce your self to it slowly.
I absolutely love Fresh raw red beets! I also use the leaves in my salads! Yuuuuuuuummmmmy
You right. Last night I ate 2 lbs of them and around 2am I woke up with nausea and looked up Beets on the internet and found this site.
That's the first time I ate beets in 10 years.
I'll just have to take it easy on them.
Live Indian way of life, don't kill animals.
Eat everything veggie and promote peace not killing
Animals are delicious! With a side of beets of course
I agree with Giuseppe!
LOL yup,… Steak, potato and beets .
I agree!
…let me make that clear. I agree with Papa.
I will like to know if beets is good for a diabetes person because of the amount of sugar in it
I will like to know if beets is good for a diabetes person because of the amount of sugar in it
I have type 2 diabetes and since I started juicing (not only with beets) veggies and fruits, I have brought my A1C levels from 10.5 to 6.3 in just 5 months!!!!! Trust me it is more then safe for a diabetic.
Beets, we started juicing 1beet, 1red delicious apple, 1carrot, after my wife was diagnosed with Brest cancer. A month latter her test showed clear of cancer. She was also diagnosed with carcinoid tumors, since the juicing the tumors have not been back. My family eats beets regularly now.
I just roasted some beets with a little olive oil and garlic and added them to Quinoa that I spiced a bit with Jamaican seasoning. It was delicious!
I would love to have dinner at your house
Been eating beets my whole life and never knew that they were so nutritious. I love them!
This is the question I've been looking for — just started juicing, and, I do love beets — didn't know if you have to cook them first —THANK YOU FOR THE INFO –
The whole purpose of juicing is to maintain the vitamins and minerals that cooking removes when steaming, boiling, or baking. I have always juiced beets raw. I have never had any negative side effects. My recommendation, if you have a kidney stone, don't consume them in any form. Other than that, I would encourage you to try them raw first and if you happen to get some strange reactions that seems to be extremely rare as mentioned in the page that was referenced, then try them cooked. Because in all reality juicing foods that have been cooked defeats the whole purpose of juicing.
If you have kidney stones eat the 2 spoons of apple cider vinegar a day, and then scare down the beets when they dissolve.
Or slice the beets and cover them with vinegar & oil.
The vinegar will fight some types of cancer too.
Henry what does "scared down the beets when they dissolve" mean please?
I think he meant scarf down the beets once your kidney stones have dissolved.
"In all reality juicing foods that have been cooked defeats the whole purpose of juicing."
Not necessarily. While some foods are best eaten raw (at least regarding their vitamin content) some foods undergo a chemical change when cooked that makes their nutrients more able to be absorbed by the human body. (The lycopene in tomatoes, for example, or the various vitamins in carrots.)
I suppose it depends on your purpose for juicing. If it's just to get a quick snack that's reasonably healthy and filling, then it doesn't matter much; whether raw or cooked, most veggies are reasonably healthy. If your purpose in juicing is to absolutely maximize your nutrient absorption, then you should figure out if any of the vegetables you're including should be cooked first to maximize their nutrient absorption potential by the human body. If cooking is required, lightly steaming them is usually best. Certainly boiling them in water could potentially leach out some nutrients.
As for beets specifically, the nutrition profile of beets apparently remains relatively unchanged with cooking, although does not increase with cooking.
Thanks for sharing this link!
Beets apples oranges blackberries strawberries kale chard and carrots….makes the best nutricious pick me up ever…clean your system, taste wonderful and makes you feel like superman
I juice using any and every kind of fruits and vegetables. Sometimes I'll use this and sometimes I'll use that, but I always love to include beets. Beets taste good and it gives my juice that velvety, exotic look and feel. I decided to look up the benefits of all the ingredients in my juices and I'm glad I'm using these ingredients because they are all natural and helpful.
I juice for a healthier me.
This morning I mixed leftover vegetarian borsht with apple, beet greens, kale, blackberries, apple juice, and honey… pretty good! May try without blackberries next time, because somewhat seedy, but delicious, feeling and great energy to get me through the morning. I only ate a little lunch because still going strong from morning.
beet juice + fresh squeezed lemonade + cayenne pepper + a few slices of cucumber = great morning pick-me-up
Wow that sounds good! I'll try next time
It's been a month since I've been having a healthy smoothie every morning and it feels great.. this morning was banana, beets, raspberries, flax seed, spinach, homemade almond milk and one table spoon of hemp protein.. Mondays require a lot of energy lol
I love roasted sweets & beets. Peel and cut sweet potatos and beets into small chunks. Toss in a small amount of olive oil. Put on a roasting pan & cook at 400 until soft (usually about 30-40min). Together they make a tasty side dish to just about anything!
Add some fresh herbs, brussel sprouts, carrots, zuchini and asparagus and you really have a wonderful roasted combination!
beets+ pineapple+ carrots
it is really good I have one every morning!!
Are canned beets ok as I can not stand long to go raw an cooked the peeled.. trying to get my good food in hubby an he will eat the canned when I chop them an asparagus , with chopped tomatoes and red onions, with a vinegar and oil dressing.. he doesn't know he is eating the asparagus hehehhehe
sorry my cursor jumped , did not see my words in the wrong place ***trying to get good food in my hubby***
Try cutting fresh beets into a green or veggie salad – they are refreshing! We love them. Don't eat too many, though – we usually cut up two small ones between two salads, peeled. My daughters like to scrub them up and roast them in the oven, unpeeled.
Beets are rich in Vitamins and minerals. As they are low in calories and high in sugar although the sugar is released into your system gradually, as opposed to chocolate. Very few foods found in the natural world are as beneficial as beets in this regard.
Would love your pickled beets recipe. I've been eating so many lately but I buy them.. I canned some last fall but didn't care for the recipe.. I'll be trying again this summer/fall. Thanks!
My mothers recipe: Beets, boiled, peeled and sliced. Ratio of 1/1 sugar/vinegar, boil for about 15 minutes and cool slightly. Put 2 whole cloves in the bottom of your jars and finish canning. Most delish pickled beets ever.
Instead of cloves we use 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cloves can be expensive and it turned out that we preferred the cinnamon.
Ever since my ex who passed away, I've never stopped eating beets since the day he introduced them to me. They are so good, I got hooked on them. Thanks for all the info. Happy Belated Easter.
very useful info
Beet + cabbage + carrot + beef soup = sinfully delicious and nutritious
Would love to know how you make this soup? Please and Thank You!!!
i use beets for juicing mixed with carrots, apples, jicama and sometimes cucumber…i love the sweet taste and the color is so nice really…my children also love beets…
I use the vitamix and out one while organic beet in (not cooked) and an apple
I shred them and add apple cider vinegar and a little sugar and let them sit overnight in the fridge. it is something my mom made when we had a pea patch garden and ended up with lots and lots of beets, she was into raw foods before it got popular. It makes a delicious raw pickled beet "salad" (the little sugar makes the vinegar less tart). I think next time I might make it with shredded carrots and jicama and see how that turns out.
Add raisins with the carrots and beets, adds just enough sweetness.
That would be a good and pretty "slaw" – shredded beets, both green and red cabbages, and carrots with a little Italian dressing.
I have a commercial dehydrate and i dehydrate the beets & leaves on 90 and pack them in vegan capsules.
Hello Everyone and thanks to full circle for this page on Beets…I juice veggies everyday and always have beet in my Juice. The red colors makes it exciting…
Just wanted to let some of the guys using bottled juices know…any juice bittled becomes an acidic food and hence the benefits are minimized, therefore its always best to juice it fresh, only fresh juice is alkaline
I've been drinking 500ml of beet juice every morning for 2 weeks in a bid to increase stamina and muscle recovery before a marathon. I have a juicer but find it much more convenient to but it in cartons. The brand 'Beet It' is 90% beet and 10% apple with nothing else so a little earthy to get down but at less than £3 a litre its better than the carnage of juicing multiple beets every morning before work! You can also get beet it shots which pack the power of a pint in a 70ml shot. I dont know if its working or just a placebo but im feeling good on it
Thanks I will be sure to not sleep now!!
Hi, I'm new to the whole beet thing. I have had suffered with acid indigestion for the better part of 2 months and just cant seem to get rid of it. I have tried pharmaceuticals that don't work. Will drinking beet smoothies help with my problem. I use a beet powder because I don't have a juicer and blend 1 banana, Quarter cup of coconut water, vanilla greek yoghurt and vanilla protein powder. I just want to feel better.
I have a pretty cheap blender and I blend cooked whole beets without any issue. When i don't have time to prepare them myself, I get organic, pre-cooked and peeled beets at Costco.
I had bad acid indigestion for years and recently found out I was lactose intolerant. After I started smoothies and laid off the milk products, I have no more problems. Although I have to admit that once in a while I jones hard for a pizza. So when I give in, I just take a digestive aid for the lactose and I am fine.
sounds yummy….need to ask ist the yam raw?
i gave up dairy 10 months and counting one of the best things i did!!!…i do miss pizza so,i have found vegan pizza to be yummy…vegan pizza with daiya non dairy cheese, may challenge the taste buds, its worth a try…:-)
Hi – for acid indigestion, a very simple solution is to eat an apple. I peel them since I have trouble digesting the peel, but it works every time. I rarely get acid indigestion any more, but once in a while I will eat either too much or just something that gives me acid indigestion, and it always goes away within minutes when I eat an apple. Not sure why, there must be something in an apple that makes it work.
Pectin! A teaspoon of raw unprocessed apple cider vinegar will also work.
You should it them raw or juice them and it will help immediately with your problem guaranteed.
I peel a raw beet and slice it very thin with a mandolin. Then I cut the slices into fourths and mix with a sliced blood orange, sliced fennel, and toss with good olive oil, pomegranate molasses, good salt, pepper, and fresh chopped parsley and mint. This is a delicious way to eat raw beets!
If you like them raw i would highly recommend looking up beet and walnut pate. Its one of my all time favorites!!!!
yes…sounds really great…
I use beets in my sons homemade baby food! I knew they were good for you, but now after reading this I think I am going to definitely have beets in my husband's and I weekly diet!!
I'm using beets to do my best to avoid miscarriage in the very near future as I will be pregnant soon.
Beets are also great for improving endurance. It's well-known among runners that eating beets and drinking beet juice helps improve your running performance.
Well, I usually have a stock of home made pickled beets. Fresh beets from the garden in the fall, turn into enough pickled beets to last through the entire year. I'm not exactly sure if pickling them takes away from the nutritional value, but at least I'm getting natural food from our own garden.
The Hot Pink Breakfast Smoothie is from greensmoothiegirl.com.
It's an awesome website!
Hot Pink Breakfast Smoothie
1.5 cups coconut water (best if you crack open a Young Tai coconut and use its water)
1/4 cup raw cashews (or soaked almonds or sunflower seeds)
1/4 cup dates
1 large carrot
1/4 fresh beet
Blend in Vitamix or Blendtec blender for 90 seconds.
Add 12 oz or 12 large frozen strawberries. Blend until smooth. Yum!
Love this recipe. Is this for one serving?
Beets are good as they are can cause kidney stones. The pain is unbelievable. People who are eating a lot of beets need to also be drinking a lot of water or beer. Asparagus and any other type of diuretic that helps dilute urine helps.
When women get kidney stones, that is when they discover sexual discrimination in the medical sector. Men are treated for their pain with morphine. Women are told to tough it out. If you don't want to experience this first hand, be careful how many and how often you eat beets.
I must say that your article is wonderful and I love all the benefits and wonderful information you gave about the beet root. Good work.
I am using beets. To boost up my immunity! I passed out due to eating poorly, read about beets and got on it. I feel lively after a raw slice. Then I shred, boil it as tea on occasions. Thanks for all the info placed here!
Beets are absolutely addictive to me, but they are a great addiction to have! Love 'em
I grew up never really liking beets, but recently have been wanting to eat them again for the health benefits. Now I find I actually do like them and even crave them sometimes. I'm going to try fermented beets next!
I am 13 weeks pregnant, and recently ate some beets at my sisters house….wow when I saw them I felt such a NEED to eat them. They were sooooo good and I have been craving them ever since. I just cooked some this morning and I just can't get enough. I loved reading how they are beneficial for pregnant women…..explains why my body is insisting I eat them!!! Thanks for the awesome information.
Are you sure you haven't mixed up beet references on sugar with sugar beets and table beets/chard? While they are the same species, they have been selected for very different traits. Sugar beets and sugar cane are the major sources of table sugar but the sugar content of sugar beets is quite a bit higher than in table beets.
BTW, I LOVE table beets and chard. Favorite way to cook beetroot is to dice up, mix with a little salt pepper and minced rosemary and roast, either by itself or with carrots, parsnips, etc. And yeah, it's always pink…
I have heard beets causes your blood to thicken. Is that true?
After you steam beets, save the left over deep magenta water and use it in making pancakes and baked goods. You get the nutritional benefits and a great pink color.
This is for anyone who is diabetic and is concerned if it will drastically increase there insulin levels.
I just posted this to reply to someone from last year but I will post it again for the more current readers and posters.
Even though beets are high in sugar, I just read that the sugar is released slowly into bloodstream compared to like eating candy/chocolate, cookies and other sweets, and the highly processed foods that are on supermarket shelves.
ABC juice is so yummy !!!
Apples Beets Carrots juice
Whole food makes one in their juice department in Seattle, WA. On the corner of 65th and Roosevelt. Not every Whole food has their own "jamba juice" though. I wish.
love beets
Wow! Amazing and informative. Personally, I CRAVE beets, and have been doing so for the past 5-6 years. Always thought it was a little weird, but my body "tells" me to eat them. I live in an icecold country (Norway) and I don't eat meat & I have a low carb-diet. (Eat much fish,eggs and and some dairy). No sun for 9 months of the year, your body starts craving things. We are "all" og low on vitamin D here in Norway, and many of us end up sick and depressed. I believe my love for beets has carried me through a lot! It surely cleanses the body really well! And my bloodtests (Even though I have a restricted diet) are always good. Beets are amazing! I have no doubt! Keep eating them, and thank you so much for posting!
We use local organic beets in salads, soups and our favorite is in a NutraBullet blended drink with organic carrot, parsley and ginger! Delish!
I also use my NutriBullet. Beets, parsley, garlic, ginger and carrots are awesome.. I love it..
Do pickled beets count? My mom makes the best pickled beets, could eat the whole jar!
recipe please
My mom makes beet salad and it tastes awesome especially paired up with some meat and potatoes.
loved your article on beets, but still hard time to get the family interested. so guess ill have to disguise it. hahah
I add a shredded (peeled) medium raw beet to my chocolate cake dough. Fold in as a last ingredient and bake as usual. The cake turns out very moist and tender and the beet adds a rich dark colour to the chocolate. Everybody's favourite.
I make a beet salad with sliced red onion and apple cider vinegar. A dash of salt and a little splenda and a lot of hot pepper gives me a delicious treat. The more it marinates the better it becomes. The juice that develops is a tangy sweet and a little spicy drink along with a great side dish. The onions become like a candy.
I love beets, I add them to my morning juice of carrots, lime, apple, pear, celery, cukes, lots of ginger, turmeric and a tbsp organic ACV. I've noticed that my back pain subsides and I have lots of enery when I drink this concoction, daily. My question is, can I add it to my 4 year old's juice (he loves a mix of carrots, celery, red and green apple, pear, and a small amount of ginger)? I heard one should not eat raw beets but with all my research, I've found that raw beets are a popular item.
I love this site, it has a wealth of information, Thank you!
I love beets! I just bought some "Sweet Pickled Beets" from costco over the weekend and was wondering if I am still getting at least part of the benefits v/s eating them raw? http://safiespecialtyfoods.com/homestyle-sweet-pickled-beets
please tell me the right time to eat beetroots?
I so love Red beets when I'm drunk i ate 2 cans tonight again and wrote my self a note incase anything is red in the A.m…Why do I crave them when I'm drinking???
I eat them when I get the Munchies and that's at least once a day Best soaked in Vinegar, place salt on them and EAT
I started adding raw red beets in my daily meal. I mix raw red beets in Cucumber, Celery, Carrots,Apple,Strawberry, lemon and get the juice. I noticed that my sexual power has increased tremendously.
Hey Bobby, thanks for sharing. Do you eat these fruits and veg raw or do you juice them?
I am 50 year old Indian male with Type 2 diabetes. For last couple of months I have started eating raw beet roots during lunch time. I will eat roughly 1/2 to 3/4 of normal size beet root and one cucumber as salad. How it is going to effect my diabetes?
Are beets considered a good source for a liver cleanse? Also are canned beets just as effective as raw?
Although there are always exceptions, nothing canned ,cooked or frozen can be as good as obtaining a fruit or vegetable fresh and as close to the time of being picked as possible. Beets are not one of these exceptions. You can notice when you cook a beet how the pigment ( betalains) will also become less. There was a time when the pigment in vegetables was viewed as simply that, but now we know that within that pigment is also antioxidants and many other nutrients that will deplete with heat and processing. Aim to get your beets fresh and also to drink them as opposed to eat them if possible. By extracting the juice from beets you obtain more benefit than you would by simply eating them. Dr Oz and others have discussed the difference and you can find that info with a very superficial search on beets and juicing vs eating
Hope this answer was helpful
I understan sugar feeds cancer. I am a cancer patient. Will beets be good for me?
The way to answer this question really would depend on many factors including the stage of cancer and the type. Of course you have to consult those you trust but at certain stages it is not going to benefit to simply eat beets even if there are aspects that are anti cancerous. As you probably already know, there should be a complete diet change and this is recommended across the board whether you are speaking to allopathic doctors who focus less on nutrition and diet or if you speak to more integrative doctors or natural doctors.
There are some who have seem dramatically effective results in ridding their bodies of cancer when eating a diet that was virtually carbohydrate free. This diet would mostly be consisting of protien and green vegetables and very little or no fruit. It is known that cancer cells use about 7 times more glucose than other cells but at the same time they do not have the ability to change over to ketones when they are deprived of glucose so they die.
Dr. Mercola has some interesting articles that may be worth taking a look at. I am not a doctor but if you want to compare some of your experiences and what you have tried I would love to discuss
May you have a wonderful recovery
Peace and blessings
And to add to Hasna' , most cancer's may be irradiated be the body by going raw only, but this is only if you have the assistance of an experienced, authority. Have a look at http://www.davidwolfe.com, he is a master in natural healing for the body. Wishing you much light and love on your journey to healing and living.
I put beet root powder in my green drinks every day. I use green powder, beet root, cinnamon, hemp protein. I go with powdered ingredients because I don't have a juicer or mixer and frequently am making the green drink at work. Am I missing nutrients form the beets by using powder?
I add raw beets right itno the food processer with some apples and other fruit and a little juice. It comes out the consistancy of applesauce but I'm getting all the fiber and benifits.
I add beets to my fruit & veggie smoothies….when the smoothie comes out to thick, I just add a few ice cubes and blend. Yummy!
I didn't *think* that I liked beets besides putting them in smoothies. My neighbor told me to fix them this way: Cut off greens (and save), wash (don't peel yet) and loosely wrap in foil allowing little holes in foil so that beets roast and not steam, put in a preheated 400 degree oven until softened, about an hour. Allow to cool, then peel and cube. Wash greens and allow them to dry somewhat. Heat olive oil in pan and roast garlic, add torn greens and sautée. The greens are DELISH. I add a little salt and pepper, a splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar to my beets and eat with the greens. I love this recipe and eat it all of the time!
PS. If my neighbor hadn't told me in advance that eating beets causes your urine to turn pink, I would have ran screaming to the emergency room!!!
I got interested in the beet juice subject here http://shai77.hubpages.com/hub/Health-benefits-of-juicing-beets and now once I've done more research I found your article really helpful. Awesome tips, thanks for sharing!
I had no idea about all of these benefits! I just got back from France and I'm starting to try to use veggies in new and creative ways. Love these beets! I just wrote my blog about these beauties and linked back to your article…thanks for the great information!
Great article. I add beets to my green drinks about every other time. You can feel the power of the nutrients when they're all working together. My health, weight and well being have changed exponentially since I've explored the green drink world and I like to 'pink' them up with a beet-bomb!
I like sweet pickled beets. Are they good for you?
I have been using beet in juicing and not really sure about the taste. Yesterday I juice some beet roots and decided I will eat the rest like carrots. They are good and added it up to my dinner salad. Being sensitive to caffeine and other stuff, the beet in my salad kept me awake until after midnight. So, I know what not to do. But I use the base beet juice with a little water, banana and add my vanilla protein mix for breakfast and midmorning snack. Reading all the benefits of beet I now know when to consume it. But I feel really alert and have more energy. I usually get my beet from the grocery store and did not like the taste. This batch I got from a local farmer friend who grows them organically, it taste a lot better. I will definitely continue to incorporate this in my diet.
Sounds pretty healthy! The question is: do you like the taste? It sounds healthy, and there is no right answer in terms of the quantities you're putting in there. I would prefer to juice them raw, though.
Hi fam, I'm new to a fasting life, I started juicing 1month ago and it's been amazing!! My question is: is it good to juice boiled beets? Will they loose nutrients??
Also wanted to know if my juice mix is right or I should add something else?
In a day I'm drinking. 2 large beets, 6 carrots, 4 asparagus, 2 large cucumbers, 1oz of fresh parsley, 1/2 red onion, 6 lemons, 1 orange, 1 jalapeño, 1 red bell pepper, 1/2oz of fresh oregano, 2 tomatoes, ginger root, 1/2 broccoli, Grinded flax seeds, whole Cannabis Sativa Leafs, stevia on the raw as a sweetener, I also incorporate from 3 to 5 different fruits so I don't always get the exact same taste!
Ps. Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language; THANKS
I just made beet soup yesterday! I added some celery root and rutabaga instead of potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. I also made some Russian style herring-beet salad, but it's not the healthiest thing since it calls for lots of mayo I do juice the beets on pretty regular basis, too. I am a huge fan of beets!
I've loved beets since I was a little kid. I always have the pickled beets. I've never tried them raw, and will make a point to try them raw. As long as I've liked beets, I've never known the health benefits of them. Thanks for the write up about them.
I've been juicing beets with sweet potatoes, carrots, and golden delicious apples! Unfortunately I am not a huge fan of eating beets but this combo tastes very good!
What combination do you use of these ingredients, thanks
I planted a 1000 square foot garden this year with a lot of beets. I juice them with the greens every morning along with some freshly picked apples from my tree. it is a great energy booster and the taste is amazing. I like raw beets as well so I will snack on them as well. witha gallon of water daily my pee is constantly pink so it's nice to know I have low stomach acid. great article.
I love a beet salad made of cooked beets that have been cubed. Add several hard boiled eggs that have been cut into pieces. Add chopped onions, salt and pepper. Mix with mayonnaise. Delicious!
I eats beets off an on they are ok I it them raw which I heard is the best way to eat veggies my ten month old is even ratting them
Are they really hard when eatin raw? I've never tried them raw. Do you peel them?
Thanx for the write up, it was very interesting. I am new to the whole beets thang and am enjoying it very much.
I just got a NutriBullit and went to the farmers market on Sunday and got a bunch of beets. I've added one beet to each of my smoothies. I want to try beets with pineapple (I got me a nice pineapple just yesterday), and I can't wait to try it. I know that Dr. Oz says that beets are wonderful, but didn't pay too much attention. I just remembered 'EAT BEETS'. I don't have a problem with beets, cooked or raw, but it's nice to know that there are really nice benefits.
Today's recipe was a mod podge of stuff, but healthy. Kale, blueberries, apple, beet, some greek yogurt, some low fat milk, honey, chia seeds, flax seeds, nutritional yeast (I'm a nursing mother and this stuff is great for milk supply), honey and water. So far it's 10:03am and I'm still not hungry. Not bad. Yay for beets! Veggies! And fruits!
I am 54 years old and have been juicing beets for 2 months. My skin is healther and my energy increased but my monthly cycle came back after 7 years. Can beets cause this?
probably not beets but if you are loosing weight that certainly can have an impact on your cycle since weight (esp abdominal weight) contains hormone. that's why if a woman is overweight they are more suseptible to breast cancer, due to the hormone that fat puts out. some breast cancer feeds on that hormone.
Beets are great for regulating your cycle, this has been proven, so I imagine they could also bring back your cycle.
If I use beets in a Borscht soup will I still get all the nutrients and benefits from beets??
Great article! I try incorporating beets in my morning juice at least a few times a week. This just confirms my belief in how good they are for you. Keep up the great work!
I've been juicing beets with carrots, celery and apple this morning and it is so good. I thought beets is horrible taste but when i juice it with 2 carrots, 2 stalk of celery and 1 granny smith apple it is so delicious. Love the beets.
You know what Divina? I love the taste of beets with apple. It seems to compliment it well.
I've had a Vitamix for a long time, but mostly I used it for fruit smoothies. I'm just starting to make green shakes, so I'm new to this. I would like to include organic beets in my shakes after reading all about their benefits here, but I was wondering if after you wash them, are you suppose to peel them before chopping them up, or do you leave the peel on. I greatly appreciate your help on this detail.
Hi there! I also have the Vitamix and use it to make my daily morning smoothie. Recently I've been adding beets to my blended recipies. Mainly because I am attracted to their beautiful color, however it's nice to read beets have so many health benefits too! After washing, I slice the beets in half and throw them in with their skin on. The Vitamix effortlessly liquefies the little red jewels! Happy beeting!
If you are a diabetic does soaking beets in water and drinking it lower sugar levels?
I see that people here have used beet in drinks…..
Any suggestions for beets in a Nutribullet drink?
I have raw beets (with the skin) in my Nutribullet smoothie a few times per week. I prefer to ingest all of the good nutrients like the fiber too, not just the juice.
A good combination I use is equal parts of beets, raspberries (or strawberries), a 1/2 banana and a little pineapple or mango. I also throw in some of the beet greens or spinach, some hemp protein powder some superfood like chia seeds or tumeric. Add water as needed. I find it to be really tasty and filling!
I love love beets.I eat beets in salads and I also like to have it as a snack with goat cheese.Very Tasty and healthy!!
I loveee beets.My fav smoothie not juice but smoothie as I love having all the veg is raw beet pineapple and raw kale sometimes ill add a banana instead of the pineapple scrummy!!!
I slice beets vey thin and skinny along with jicama…squeeze lime juice over them and sometimes sprinkle with "tajin" which is basically chile y more lime….yummmmm!
I love beets! I oven roast them with onions, and steam the greens and stalks often. They make me feel calm and soothe menstrual cramps like nothing else.
Did you know that those mop-head musicians from Liverpool England were avid lovers of beets? It's true! That's why they called themselves The Beet-les. Just kidding…I couldn't resist.
Try using beets and bananas mixed in a drink form, delicious!!!!!!!
what happens if you dont peel beets before eating. just asking, cause I did that & had verrry terrible headache all day afterwards. urine was very red also.
"Beeturia" is the name for this phenomenon — beeturia is a hint that you may need to get more iron — you could be anemic.
I do not personally like beets , however I knew I was missing out by not having them in my diet . I bought a pair for juicing . I mixed them with orange juice, lemon juice, wheat grass and the meat of one large jalapeño . I also stewed the tops with my green juice . Even though I still do not particularly like beets I find my body craves the juice. I drink it twice a day and I must say I feel amazing.
I dont have a juice and my blender cant quite pulverize those beets the way I'd like so I added a sliced up beet to a pitcher of fresh brewed green tea. I feel like I'm still getting the beet benefit with out the taste of dirt.
Beets are the only cure for my cold sores..I have tried everything and always resort back to beets..if I don't have time to cook them I will take a beet pill…so safe that when my 5 year old gets them I give him a beet pill also, there usually close to gone by the next day! Amazing!!
Do you recommend any other root vegetables?
I put beets in my Vitamix (registered trademark) everyday and it is an amazing addition to my diet…we can't get enough of it! My wife and I no longer have headaches, heartburn or constipation, thanks to beets and the other organics we put in our mixes. Highly recommended!
I love taking boiled eggs and putting them in a jar with pickled beets. Let the eggs sit in the juice for about 3-4 days, best pickled eggs ever. I eat the eggs and beets together for a quick lunch.
My son and I had a shake with beet leaves for the first time – as we finished we sang "We got the Beet!" together…
Yeah for Beets!!
I heard that 1/2 half beet and 1-2 apples can be a liver cleanse. Any truth to the statement?
I grew up eating beets cooked in salad with cooked carrots and red onions. My mom's favorite salad As an adult my BP has always been low. Last week was 93/51. As an adult I have not been using beets lately, but I am starting to use beets blended in a mix called the "athletes post work out" drink. I blend (Im not juicing) pineapple, orange, beets, cale, banana, and flax seeds. I drink super mix for breakfast!!!
I juiced beets 3 days in a row last week and still haven't noticed any colors in my stool or urine. Is that normal??
My addiction is juicing. It's as if I discovered a gold mine. Juicing beets, carrots, celery,spinach,fresh ginger,apple, has been my favorite JET fuel. I just turned 60 and decided to do something to help my mind and body. Eating/juicing really has literally changed my life for the better. I'm energetic, think clearly and positively and I haven't felt this great in a long long time. I encourage people everyday to avoid "junk food" that is slowly killing us all. It's fun experimenting with all the different combinations of fruits and vegetables and the array of flavors and benefits.
Juicing has been instrumental in me losing weight, having feelings of well being and not feeling or getting sick. I wish that everyone could at least give it a try…you"ll be glad that you did…
I have juiced on and off for some years… However, in all these years, I never thought to juice beets. Turnip bottoms, Carrots, Ginger, Apples, and Jicama, but never beets… Well Friday I went to the produce market and purchased 25lbs of beets and 50lbs of carrots for 26 dollars, and I have been juicing every day… Mmmmmh mmmmh goood.
I love juicing raw beets with carrots, apples, oranges and celery. It is delicious!
I slice beets as thin as I can and, along with any other fresh veggie I have, spritz with olive oil and liberally use garlic powder, black pepper, sometimes turmeric and a dash of cayenne pepper. Roast on 400 for 45 min or until it gets crunchy (I prefer that texture; my husband prefers chewy). Either way YUM!
I just started beet smoothie from last week. I have to say I am one those weirdos who can't open an eye without a coffee, but thanks to your info and all the commenters who convinced me and I can operate without coffee
I want to know how many times minimum I should rely on this. Is four times a week is good amount? Is Smoothie a replacement for breakfast or it can be made a part of breakfast?
My smoothie contains
Half a beet, one green apple, half a cucumber, 20 grapes, 10 fresh kale, 10 spinach leaves. Tastes pretty darn good. I had to modify smoothie to my liking since I am not too crazy about beet taste.
Please let me know if I can change or make it better.
Thanks for help.
I blended a piece of beet, stalk of celery, Half an apple, half an entire lemon and a dash of cinnamon. Added water n had a delicious sweet smoothie/drink.
I blended a piece of beet, half an apple, stalk of celery, half a lemon and a dash of cinnamon. Very delicious and sweet.
I like to bake my beets rub in olive oil sprinkle with Tony's Chacheres Seasoning
Does anyone know if there are any benefits from eating beets for someone with a under active thyroid?
I've been having beets as a snack and I love them! I'm in the process if trying to lose weight and I'm amazed at how adding beets to my diet has helped me out. My skin feels better, I have energy, im not retaining as much water and I'm not hungry. I just cut them up and add some salt and lime juice to them and enjoy!!!
I bought beets last week strictly for the greens (tops) because, for health reasons, I need to greatly increase my greens consumption/variety. I've been making super-green smoothies (a LOT of kale, collards, parsley, acai berries, etc).
Well so here I am with several beets I had no idea what to do with – never liked them much. I had no idea that they, too, could go into the smoothies!
Thanks for this info – I didn't know they were such a nutritional powerhouse, either!
Personnally, I love, love roasted beets with onions, balsamic vinegar and some honey. I roast between 9 and 12 beets a week, slice them and let them marinate is the balsamic vinegar and honey. I literally can't eat enough of them. I have not tried any other recipes for the beets, but I am sure I will shortly. Along with the beets and drink a nice green smoothie everyday which has the greens along with True Vitality powder.
Save yourself time and mess in preparing beets to roast. Just cut off ends, peel the skin. Cut 1/2 inch slices. Place on foil that has any oil coating (such as olive oil) brushed or wiped on the foil. Loosely cover with foil, and roast at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Take off cover foil and roast for another 15 minutes or there abouts. Bake until fork goes through easily. Sometimes I flip them over 5 minutes or so before done.
To clarify: Peel off the beet skin, PRIOR to baking, with a potato peeler. No need to wait until after beets are cooked to peel off skins. It's messy and not a happy job.
I eat beats from a can with red wine vinegar! Delish!!!
This is perfect! I love beets and I have a bag of befuuiatl golden beets in the freezer from last fall. Time to eat em! YOU are the best Chef John… the BEST!
I just made a chocolate cake with beets in it and it was incredible.
i realy love Beets i just used some to lover my Colosterol , Make a hole in the middle of beets squize the limon live to stand over night then drinkit in the morning for 5 days im trying this my self hope it works better then pills
Sorry my spelling
Beets are so healthy! I shared this blog in my own post about beet soup at http://simplenaturalsolutions.com/beet-soup-recipe/
I love beets! When I make my morning breakfast juices, I always try to throw a beet or two in the juicer. There's really nothing quite like it. They have a very distinct earthy taste, that's for sure, but you learn to love it. Few things make me feel as energized!
I had read that beets are good for your mental health, and being a wife of an over-the-road trucker and homeschooling mommy of two young kids, I definitely need a lift where I can get one naturally. I took 6 medium beets, washed and shredded them; shredded some ginger root, cut up a couple carrots; added fresh garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and pepper. My aim was to have about half a cup serving of beet 'medicine' with every meal to see if it helps me with stress. I had my first serving on Sunday, and I can't believe how good I feel today (Tuesday). I'm sleeping better, my resistance to stress is much greater, my mood is much happier and calmer. I am amazed! Beets will be a staple in my house, no matter what!!
Thank you for sharing! I suffer from depression and I notice when I don't eat healthy it gets worse. I am going to try to incorporate more beets into my diet. I am roasting some tonight and will juice some tomorrow :). I have also added more greens to my diet!
Hi – I've taken around 500 ml of Beet juice, my urine colors slightly in Beets color. So am i suffering from improper stomach acid supply? pls reply
I actually use a lot of minced beets and add em on my baked potatoes as a toping, they're so good.
I found this website because I had recently pickled some beets and noticed that my urine and bowels were pinkish purple. I wanted to make sure I wasn't overdoing it with the beet consumption because I love them! Now, if I can only get my husband to eat them.
I make a juice with half a beet, 1 small apple and a very small slice of ginger. It tastes good and gives me the energy I need for the day. Its also very good for digestion.
I juice beets, celery, and carrots and gulp it all down.
it tastes pretty good not to sweet and not to bitter.
Eating beets as I write this! I like to drizzle mine with olive oil and roast, then chop into bite size pieces and top with crumbled feta cheese— yum!
Beets are amazing! Here's a delicious smoothie recipe to increase your beet intake: http://bit.ly/VVi38Z
I am borderline diabetic and since beets is high in sugar, should I avoid to put it in my smoothies?
Even though beets are high in sugar, I just read that the sugar is released slowly into bloodstream compared to like eating candy/chocolate, cookies and other sweets, and the highly processed foods that are on supermarket shelves.
Oh yea, roasted beets, carrots and radishes are excellent. That rare taste the radishes have, turn into a natural seasoning. Combined with olive oil and a bit of salt, roast slowly…oh so good.
Hey fellas,try juicing beets with watermelon for a viagra tonic.
It is insane!
Beets are awesome. I used to juice them regularly, but now I decide to add them to healthy smoothies instead. It is far more convenient and won't break your juicer (happened to me). You can find some great ideas related to this here
I have a question….I had roasted beet salad twice in three days…there were red and golden beets in both salads…I had a yellowish/brownish staining rather than red urine…is that a result of the golden beets???? I was definitely, but didn't even realize I might be having any movement that would cause the coloring. It lasted until 48 hours after having eaten.
I love beets and I know how good they are…I eat the red ones all the time, but this is a new side effect and I have to assume it is the golden beets?
Are golden beets as health beneficial as red beets? Was wondering…I love to roast them with carrots and fennel.
I love beets that have been gently boiled (don't remove the base of the stems from the beet) until just tender, chilled, peeled, sliced and marinated in a savory herbed vinaigrette dressing. Served with potatoes and greens, heaven!!!
thats my favorite too !
I put my beets in the oven wrapped in foil for an hour and a half on 400. The skin comes off very easily afterwards and is great for cubing and putting in an arugula salad with goat cheese and persimmons.
I make a beet energy drink that works like a charm and taste yummy too!
I just added beets to my smoothie. Having a busy schedule I like having it as a daily go to berries, spinach, a banana, greek yogurt and now beets make up my energy packed sipper! Love the addition.
I love beets. they are so sweet right after steaming. But mostly i like it as a blended juice. Try Apple, Orange, Beet, Ginger and Carrot and serve in a big beer mug on ice. It's excellent.
I never liked beets since i was young, but last week i juice a half medium size beet and 3 medium sizes apples and i have to say it was GOOD. I been drinking friut and green smoothies for some time now, just started back with juicing but will add beets in the mix.
Beet risotto garnished with fresh goat cheese and arugula – especially delicious during my current pregnancy and the striking pink colour makes it an impressive dish at a dinner party. Yum!
I was just about to post a recipe for Beetballs and Pasta:(http://crunchyhippie.com/recipe/view/beetballs-and-spaghetti/ )on our facebook page but I also like to share the health benefits of whatever healthy dish I'm sharing! Great list, thank you! I will be sharing it with our healthy community at http://www.CrunchyHippie.com~ a green social network based around living natural, healthy and peaceful lives! Please come on by~ we'd love to have you all be a part of it! ~Amber~
We've been juicing beets for over two years and can't save enough good things about them. We've noticed a huge improvement to my skin completion by juicing beets. Beets are also a natural laxative helping you stay regular and help with weight loss. Since beets are high in sugar content, we recommend drinking it no later than noon, this way your body is awake and help process the good natural sugar. To our surprise, beet juice by itself is delicious. I
Hi, how do you juice beets? With skin on or off? How about the leaves? Thank you!
I have been juicing beets with carrots celery and apples. Im totally liking it and I'm feeling regular already. Thanks to a dear friend Im feeling great! Go for it people!
Why is that,every time i eat Beets. My pow Turns Red!
Is that Normal?
Cassi and I work together. Hearing her talk about how good she has felt after a week of eating beets has inspired me to make to beet kvass this weekend. I love beets, but sometimes it takes a little bit of reminding to remember that!
I made borscht for the first time this last week. It was delicious and I noticed that I felt happy, calm, and healthy all week long. Believe in the beets!
I just made Beet Soup.
- Buy the full stalk and beet. Chop them up to bite size.
- Saute chopped onion and garlic in light vegetable oil in a deep soup pan.
- add some tumeric powder, cilantro, oregano etc. , red pepper to taste.
- add the chopped beets and stalks into the pan and add a large can of either chicken or veg broth
- I use low salt chicken broth to keep the BP down .
- use the can and add 2-3 cans of water
- simmer just below boil for 20 minutes or so the beets are soft enough to bite into.
- remove from heat and cover.
- The broth is deep red and full of vitamins and minerals.
- Very tasty.
- You really cant BEET it…!

Ubuntu Carrier Advisory Group has just received one of its most important members, the largest mobile network operator in the US, Verizon Wireless.
Canonical has managed to gain the support of Verizon Wireless, one of the most important mobile carriers in the world, in order to build its Ubuntu Touch operating system.
If Ubuntu Touch is to be successful, it must gather a lot of support from different mobile operators from around the world and meet their expectations before a final product is made available.
"Verizon Wireless is joining Ubuntu's Carrier Advisory Group to participate in technology discussions around this new platform, which has the ability to bring new and exciting features to developers and ultimately, customers," stated Samir Vaidya from the Device Technology team at Verizon Wireless.
The simple adhesion to the Ubuntu Carrier Advisory Group doesn't mean that Verizon Wireless is backing Ubuntu Touch or that it will release any handsets based on this OS.

PAWTUCKET — If first impressions do indeed count, then Mitch Maier put his best foot forward upon formally introducing himself to PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina.
"He's very driven and focused," was the takeaway DiSarcina had of Pawtucket's new outfield addition. "I didn't have to ask him to come into the office and go over the signs. He walked right in that first day."
PAWTUCKET — If first impressions do indeed count, then Mitch Maier put his best foot forward upon formally introducing himself to PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina.
"He's very driven and focused," was the takeaway DiSarcina had of Pawtucket's new outfield addition. "I didn't have to ask him to come into the office and go over the signs. He walked right in that first day."
Upon made abreast of DiSarcina's praise, Maier smiled. After spending 10 seasons with the organization that drafted and provided him a chance to play in the major leagues, the 30-year-old has made it a point to get up to speed. The ex-Kansas City Royal made his PawSox last Sunday after opening the season on the disabled list with a left wrist sprain – the result of attempting to make a driving catch during Grapefruit League action.
"I was playing left field in Sarasota [spring training home to Baltimore] and the glove got caught in the grass and rolled up underneath me," Maier explained while pointing to spots on his left wrist that not long ago were tender. "Obviously (the PawSox) had played a bunch of games already and I wanted to get everything I needed so I could go out there and contribute."
Maier had a sense that his time in Kansas City was drawing to a close last July upon getting designated for assignment. He spent the balance of the season in Triple-A Omaha and requested free agency in early October. By the end of the month, he found a serious taker in the Red Sox.
As one chapter ended – a former first-round selection, Maier appeared in 360 games with the Royals spanning six seasons – he was eager to begin anew and ingratiate himself with a new cast of baseball types.
"There was part of me that said, 'Hey, there's 29 other teams that I know nothing about,'" Maier said. "It was an exciting offseason where I could actually pick where I wanted to go. I did enjoy my time in Kansas City, but at the same time I was excited about a new opportunity"
When spring training got underway, Maier was seen essentially as a depth piece with the ability to play all three outfield positions. He was batting .346 at the time of his wrist setback.
"Obviously my goal was make the (Red Sox) out of camp, but with the injury coming with two weeks remaining in spring training, I knew that I wasn't going to be healthy in time," said Maier. "Just because I didn't break with the team from Day 1 doesn't change my goals. I'm going to help (the PawSox) while I'm here, but I signed here because I want to play in Boston."
After endearing himself to his new skipper, Maier set out to carve out a favorable niche with his PawSox teammates. On the same day he was activated, he sent the McCoy Stadium paying customers home happy after blasting a walk-off three-run home run in the 11th inning against Rochester.
Maier's fourth game with Pawtucket took place Wednesday night. Though he finished hitless in four plate appearances, he drew a walk and scored a run as part of a 6-1 win over Lehigh Valley. His 0-for-3 showing lowered his average from .455 to .357.
"My objective is to do something daily to help the team win ballgames," said Maier, sounding like a ballplayer who takes pride in serving as the consummate professional.
Added DiSarcina, "He's an independent worker. You love having him around, but sooner or later, you know he's going to get plucked to go up there and help out. He's definitely big-league depth."
In a heartfelt gesture that epitomizes the generous spirit of the PawSox, the players sported official Boston Red Sox caps on Wednesday. The team will repeat the act for Thursday's contest.
All caps will be autographed by the player and placed on www.pawsox.com to be auctioned later this week. All of the proceeds from the caps will go to One Fund Boston, a fund set up by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to raise money for families most affected by the attacks at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
"I got a message from (Pawtucket director of media relations) Bill Wanless on my way in that they were going to do this over the next two days," said DiSarcina. "It's a great idea by the front office."
In addition, the proceeds from Wednesday and Thursday's PawSox Charitable Foundation 50/50 raffle at McCoy will also be donated to One Fund Boston.

Add data to stylesheets
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|has-patch commit 2nd-opinion needs-codex
In my humble opinion it would be awesome to provide theme developers an easy function to add extra data to registered stylesheets.
This way they could use the 'wp_head' action to cleanly make stylesheets conditional for IE, make them alternate or add RTL support.
Like wp_add_inline_style(), this function could really contribute to decluttering template files.

comment:1 @nacin — 4 years ago
This exists currently, but you have to dig into $wp_styles and use add_data(), such as add_data( 'ie', 'conditional', 'lte IE 7' ) and add_data( $handle, 'rtl', true );.
It's complex (I didn't provide a code sample as I'd have to look it up beyond what I provided) and I wouldn't mind some wrappers here.

@kobenland I like the goal of this idea. I also feel that the script/style system is more complex that it needs to be and it needs to be simplified. I think it would be better to implement a more general data method that could be used for many purposes rather than adding a function that only gets used a few times. A function like the example below would be capable of storing data related to scripts/styles and practically anything else. Also (loosely related) see #22249
// Get or set data via key/value pair. function wp_data ($k = null, $v = null) { static $hash; isset($hash) or $hash = array(); // only initiates once if ( func_num_args() > 1 ) return $hash[$k] = $v; // set if ( is_scalar($k) ) return $hash[$k]; // get if ( is_null($k) ) return $hash; // get all return $hash = array_merge($hash, (array) $k); // set multi }

I appreciate your feedback! I merely proposed an abstraction of existing functionality though. Maybe it would be a good idea to open a new ticket with what you came up with?

Going by the function names in that file, and the add_data() method, the function name here should probably be wp_style_add_data.
Suffice to say, I'm rather surprised that we don't already have the helper function, even more surprised that we used the exact same global access method in Twenty Twelve.

18753.2.diff is good to go. Per IRC, leaving Twenty Twelve out of this. It's just more code, not really needed. If it were legitimately easier, I'd argue sure. but it's a function wrapping a method, not even a function rename or something.
comment:15 @nacin — 2 years ago
Pointing out that it avoids the did_action() and new WP_Styles stuff because this is a new function. The original functions simply set up WP_Styles on demand, at any time — we needed to dress it up when we wanted to add_doing_it_wrong() and such. But if this new function gets called too early, it'll simply trigger a fatal error.

I am doing a project to create a small system for elderly. the system should detect if they have fall and send an SMS message.
I have been asked to use accelerometer for the purpose of the system
the issues I am facing are as follow:
1- how to choose a suitable sensitivity
2- found a device with some sensitivity / G, but isn't it that
the plane we usually move on will always be 1G. is 1G ~10m/s^2
if that's true how would I be able to detect the elderly falling as different people will have different speed and acceleration is the rate of change of speed (Velocity).
I welcome any pointers in the matters Thanks for your Help
10 October 2011 05:03 PM
Hey, Im not an expert but I used some accelerometers in my masters project a few years ago.
1- The better the sensitivity generall the better the accelerometer- it's a measure of output (voltage) change with regards to input (acceleration) change, so really limiting factors should really be cost and whatever input your microcontroller (or whaterver control your using) can accept.
2- When someone falls I assume your accelerometer will not stay 'level'. When this happens it will experience a change in gravity relative to the angle through which it tilts
sorry it's not more in depth, I don't have much time atm

Thanks very much every little helps as they say, if you can point me toward some reading material that can be useful.

I think that there is a good texas instruments pdf (Acceler1.pdf - google is your friend) that takes you through all of the basics to do with accelereometers, the application your using them for shouldn't involve anything overtly complicated, they are fairly well documented so there are probably heaps of books out there with in-depth application notes.
There are many different types of accelerometer so I won't go into detail about how they work though most are capacative and piezoelectric. For the most part functionality involves varying the output voltage in a linear fashion with respect to the 'tilt' angle it goes through. That is why there are 1/2/3 axis accelerometers out there, you need to decide how many axis' are worth measuring and what kind of acceleration around these axis will represent a fall. Once you've done that your control circuitry should be reasonably straight-forward.

I don't think you can just use an accelerometer by itself, since there are a number of factors to consider.
a) Rate of fall is incredibly difficult to ascertain, and cannot be used in isolation.
b) may slip off a chair and slide to the ground, unable to get up.
c) may bend over to pick something up, unable to regain a sitting or standing pose after, and lower themselves to the ground.
d) Stroke or heart attack patients may lower themselves to the ground under a controlled fall.
e) A person may lean rapidly from a chair to pick something up, but not fall over. Depends where the sensor is located.
The list goes on, from personal experience with an ageing Dad (RIP), God bless.
Suggest some other devices for detection along with accelerometer, placed at hip height.
