Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a root vegetable also known as red beet, table beet, garden beet, or just beet. Beetroot contains a bio-active antioxidant called Betacyanin which gives its purplish-red color. It increases oxygen uptake at cellular level, helps with blood pressure and protects the cardiovascular system. It is high in antioxidants as well as vitamins A, B6 and C and an excellent source of soluble fiber, calcium, folate, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc.
