As well as being excellent vegetables, beet is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and C, and its leaves, which are also an excellent source of many minerals and trace elements (calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, sodium, iron, etc.), contain as much, if not more, iron.The root contains fewer minerals than the leaves, but provides a long list of interesting substances: choline, folate, iodine, manganese, sodium, potassium, fibre, as well as carbohydrates in an easily digestible form. And although its iron content is not very high, it is of excellent quality, making beet an interesting food to help blood synthesis. Particularly recommended in cases of haemorrhage, in preparation for childbirth or during convalescence...
