I

just love beetroots, with their sweet, natural taste and they
work as a wonderful base to so many dishes, particularly curry.
Did you know that eating 200 g of cooked beetroot provides just
the same health benefits as drinking 500 ml of juice?
So if you can’t stomach the idea of drinking 500ml of beetroot
juice a day, why not try eating delicious ruby red beets instead? 3.5
cooked beetroot (approximately 200g) contain the same amount
of nitrate as 500ml of beetroot juice, meaning you can reap similar
rewards by incorporating a couple of tasty beetroot recipes into
your daily diet instead.
This is a recipe I discovered and tried and I have to say, it has now
become quite a favourite so give it a try! x
