Uses
Packed with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. Beetroots and beetroot juice have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and increased exercise performance.
Soil Nutrient Requirements
Soil requirement for Beetroot plantation: Garden beets are produced on a wide variety of soils but deep, well-drained loams and sandy loams are considered the best. Heavy soils are not satisfactory for beets because the roots are likely to be unsymmetrical in shape when grown on such soils.
Sowing Method
Beetroots can also be sown in large containers, at least 40cm (16in) wide, filled with multi-purpose compost. Choose varieties with rounded roots, rather than long deep ones. Sow the seeds 10cm (4in) apart, then cover with about 2.5cm (1in) of compost. Water gently to avoid disturbing the seeds.

Care Instructions
Beetroot prefer a position in full sun. They will grow in light shade, but avoid areas that get no direct sun at all. Improve the soil by digging in well-rotted compost - avoid manures and other fresh soil improvers as they can lead to bolting (going to seed early) or the roots not developing correctly.
