BEETS
//BEET-ACULAR//
In Chinese medicine, if it looks like blood then it nourishes and builds the blood. The beautiful deep purple-red of beets does exactly that! It also tonifies the heart, calms the spirit, lubricates the intestines and cleanses the liver.
//NUTRITION//
The belatin pigment in beets supports detoxification by helping trigger the "hook-up" process of unwanted toxic substances to small nutrient groups that are then neutralized and excreted from the body. Beets are also a great source of folate, potassium and manganese.
//ENJOY//
Excellent juiced or roasted on top a salad, I also love a good pickled beet as well...mmmm
