Qualtivate ™ Beetroot - Ruby Queen Variety seeds-250 Seed Seed  (250 per packet)

Beetroot consists of the phytonutrient betalain responsible for making it an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying in nature. And it is the plant pigment, betacyanin, responsible for the rich purplish-red tone. The presence of this pigment is what helps prevent the formation of some kinds of cancer cells in the body and prevents birth defects too. Consuming beetroot, better known as Chukandar in India, is very beneficial for the liver and the quickest way to recover from iron deficiency. While detoxifying, beetroot also helps keep the disorders of the liver at bay. Being rich in fibre, beetroot stimulates better bowel functions and stimulates an increase in the antioxidant enzymes. It also comprises glutamine, an essential amino acid that keeps the intestinal tract in good shape. Having a shot of beet juice daily has a positive effect on blood pressure levels too. Mostly, beetroot is eaten raw in salads but it can also be mixed in juices and smoothies or even cooked and pickled.
