Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 BEETS: Beets have the ability to cleanse the blood. Beets contain calcium, sulphur, iron, potassium, choline, beta-carotene and vitamin C. Beets are also high in minerals which strengthen the liver and gall bladder, and are the building blocks for blood corpuscles and cells. Beet greens are excellent for salads and juicing. Beet greens are a good source of carotenoids which help in the prevention of all types of cancers. They are high in manganese which is an important mineral for brain function. Beet juice is very concentrated. Do not drink it alone. Dilute it with a milder juice such as carrot or apple. Beets can cause the stool to turn red and may give the urine a reddish tinge. When juicing beets, alternate between pieces of beets and pieces of carrots, otherwise the beet pulp tends to build up on the side of the spinning extraction basket and causes the juicer to vibrate. Purchase firm, rock-hard beets. Being a root, they can be stored for months in the refrigerator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I like mine just cooked and sliced, but pickled is good too. They are also good raw - grated in salad.
