Beetroot
and its benefits
The beetroot,
also known in North America as the table
beet, garden beet, red or golden
beet, or informally simply as the beet,
refers to any of the cultivated varieties of beet grown for their edible taproots, especially B. vulgaris L. subsp. conditiva. They are among the most commonly
encountered varieties in North America, Central America, and Europe.
Beetroot
is a dark red vegetable with an acquired taste which has been getting a lot of
coverage in the news. It has been linked with better stamina, improved blood
flow and lower blood
pressure
Beetroot is an excellent source of foliate and a good source of manganese and contains betaines which may
function to reduce the concentration of homocysteine, a homolog of the naturally occurring amino acid cysteine. High circulating levels of
homocysteine may be harmful to blood vessels and thus contribute to the
development of heart disease, stroke, or peripheral vesicular disease. This hypothesis is controversial as it
has not been established yet whether homocysteine itself is harmful, or whether
it is just an indicator of increased risk for heart disease.
The red colour compound betanin is not broken down in the body, and in
higher concentration may temporarily cause urine (termed beeturia) and stool to assume a
reddish colour. This effect may cause distress and concern due to the visual
similarity to hematuria (blood in the urine) or blood in the stool, but is completely
harmless and will subside once the food is out of the system.
