is Beetroot good for you ?

It is full of carbs and sugar.  Cheese is full of fat.  Bread is also stuffed with carbs and nasties.
I am sorry but you will have to starve.
Eve may well have had something else in her mouth!!

Hi, Moonbeam

Its a vegetable. Yes they are good for you.

I need to do more research.

i eat a packet once a week. next day don't freakout when you take a dump?

purple poop. red. you might think you are bleeding.

cary grant featured Borscht soup in a film with Ronald colman? jean arthur. will need to look up the title? beetroot soup. with sour cream?

Defo a vegetable.  Easy to grow from seed and loads of recipes out there. My favourite is boil, cool, strip the skin, quarter, douse with olive oil on a baking tray then add a little honey and lots of fresh thyme sprigs (more than you think might be necessary), and then roast simply in the oven.

Hi Diva!

I thought it was a vegetable, but only coz it's always reduced with the real rubbish, always make sure I grab a box

I'll never starve, my freezer's jam packed full of goodies, though purple poop sounds kinda cool

As I thought, beetroot is good for you.

That was quite spooky, SH

Indeed, what the hell kinda link is that, scandy?

Are you entering the Cheltenham placepot comp, Moonbeam?

Did it scare you, too, Saddo?

I stick it in my stew til it turns purpule..

Yes I will do just for you Diva .. love Cheltenham but as a pro punter I don't bet all jumps season .. the summer flat season is now my Goldmine

Beetroot that is...

It's a swollen root although all parts of the plant are edible. Young leaves in salad and the roots make excellent chutney.

Zorro, that's The Talk of the Town. Seem to remember Cary likes egg in his Borscht?

I can't be doing with beetroot personally, I find it a tad dull same with celery which quite frankly is fairly pointless.

My stew would liven a eunoch up..

Beetroot is def no celery Slippy ... would go lovely with your cheeseboards!

some people don't use google & I-phones scandy ... we don't support the corporate agenda that has future programs for electric cars in store for peeps just like you!

Love beetroot. The pickled variety that is. How many eat fresh beetroot I wonder?

It is fairly high in carbs but then its a small portion food (unlike pasta, potatoes, rice, bread) so that negates most of the insulin spike problems you get with many carbs.

don't pretend you've never used google to search for anything

I like beetroot soup and as Blackbarn said roasting it is an easy and tasty way to go.

Russians love it.....

Borsch is the famous soup in many Russian families, as well as many Eastern and Central European countries.
The recipes of borsch vary, but vegetables (mainly beet) and sour cream are always the main ingredients. The beetroot used in cooking borsch gives the soup its trademark deep reddish-purple color.

served with sour cream & chopped chives , crusty bread....

Enjoy

don't pretend you've never used google to search for anything Laugh

Only ever a Recipe and a Dominatrix ... both were extremely far fetched!

tictacman - Borscht tastes even better with a t on the end.

Wonderful stuff. I have a glass of it everyday. Helps to lower blood pressure.

thanks Cauthenmeister, I had lookin things up.

was a cute film. i really like Jean Arthur.
some squeeky voice. real charisma.
made a lot of enjoyable films.
better than the films of today.

anything that is very deeply coloured is good for you  & the deeper the colour the better it is for you. so beetroot is above radish and spinach is above round lettuce.
it also will contain fibre which is good for your digestive system.

beetroot is good for the liver.

Never had a hamburger without a slice of beetroot.

Turns your pee purple!

Great with poached eggs.

Just don't accidentally fall backwards on one and get it lodged up your backside as it requires lots of explaining at A&E and they won't be fooled when you say you are having problems with a particularly large Chalfont...

Read some research a while back that it has a proven beneficial effect for athletes, and I think some of them chug it down before events.
I love it. Not as much as carrot juice though. I love carrot juice. If I was a "furry", I'd be a rabbit :P

Some facts to back up my wild claims:
